Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / December 2006The SICKENING HORROR of sensor dust
The worst example I have ever seen so far....courtesy of a slob and his Canon 30D. Successor to the E-1, where ARE you ??? http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1022&thread=21282665 > The worst example I have ever seen so far....courtesy of a slob and his > Canon 30D.

Sure. That image shocked me though. I've never seen anything that bad. >> > The worst example I have ever seen so far....courtesy of a slob and his >> > Canon 30D.

Help! I dropped my 10D in a sewage lagoon on a pig farm and now all my images stink! Do I need to clean my sensor (visible dust did not answer my Email plea)?  SignatureRegards.

"Bad" in what sense? > The worst example I have ever seen so far....courtesy of a slob and his > Canon 30D. > Successor to the E-1, where ARE you ??? > > http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1022&thread=21282665 If the images are real, it looks like someone cleaned his mirror with a lens cloth. Even an Oly can't prevent stupidity. Believe me, I know.... :-( > If the images are real, it looks like someone cleaned his mirror with a > lens > cloth. Even an Oly can't prevent stupidity.

But dust there can migrate to the sensor, and then it may show up. SignatureJohn McWilliams >> If the images are real, it looks like someone cleaned his mirror with a >> lens >> cloth.

Not saying that I would ever do anything so abysmally stupid, but if you use one of those lens cleaning cloths that you buy in camera stores, they will fill your whole light box with lint. It is next to impossible to get it all out. Took me months. > Not saying that I would ever do anything so abysmally stupid, but if you > use > one of those lens cleaning cloths that you buy in camera stores, they will > fill your whole light box with lint.

I found that I had to wash mine before the first use, but I've only ever used mine on filters, never on an SLR mirror. I normally don't worry about small amounts of dust on the mirror since you cannot see it in the viewfinder anyway as it is so far out of focus. Generally the blower does a good enough job. Dust on the sensor certainly sucks though. Mine has one spot again, but I'll keep photoshopping it out until there are enough dust spots to make it worth cleaning. Hi Chris, > one of those lens cleaning cloths that you buy in camera stores, they will > fill your whole light box with lint. It is next to impossible to get it > all > out. Took me months. I use microfiber cloths that I buy at Eyemart (sold for eyeglasses, which I also use same kind of stuff for;). I have had zero problems with lint, or anything, else with them. Don't know if that's the same as what camera stores sell. I think I got something like that with my camera when I bought it. If I recall I tried it on my classes and they got worse, so that cleaning kit ended up in the trash<g> SignatureArnor Baldvinsson San Antonio, Texas Try "Head and Shoulders". It works for me. No more dust on my sensor... -------------------- > The worst example I have ever seen so far....courtesy of a slob and his > Canon 30D. > Successor to the E-1, where ARE you ??? > > http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1022&thread=21282665 |
