I have successfully SensorSwiped my sensor clean, taken some pure blue
sky shots at aperture 16, and the sensor is now very clean.  But
looking through the EVF I can clearly see lint dust etc in there.
Driving me nuts....
Is there anyway to clean the dust from that view?

Try cleaning the focus screen and mirror?

A viewfinder, not an Electronic View Finder.

It's a good job you chimed in there, Joan - that particular Nit has only
been picked twice before and I don't think that many of us got the message.

Perhaps you wouldn't mind repeating it just once more, to be on the safe
side?

Nah, you can have that honour ;-)
