oops .... the "missing" posts are back. View -> Threads -> All etc.

Does anyone else here use a Sensor Klear ( By LensPen ) brush on the
their sensors ?

About 6 months ago I took my D70 to our local photo shop and said I'll
pay him to clean the sensor. There were a couple of particles which no
amount of blowing or wiping with an anti static brush would remove. He
hauled out the Sensor Klear brush and deftly wiped the sensor for me ...
no charge.

Went home and took a few test shots and was amazed at the result. I
bought the cleaning kit when I went back there again. Since then the
included blower is all I have had to use.

Is this another $80 make-up brush?

Some kind of replaceable nib that's good for (50?) cleanings. Comes with
a brush for the mirror box (not for the sensor) and a rocket blower in
the kit. I use a rocket blower & $1.99 makeup brush & haven't had to wet
clean since using a brush. I had pecpads & eclipse but the eclipse
evaporated & that was really a pain to use so if the brush ever fails to
work this might be interesting.

Paul, you're correct there. I use the blower first. If that doesn't
clear it then I use an artist's brush after blowing compressed air
through it. I've used the Sensor Klear pad once since I've bought it.

The pen has some sort of chemical stored inside the cap & whenever you
replace the cap it replenishes the pad. I forget the price but it really
wasn't something to hassle about ... less than the price of a UV filter.

But wait! Now you can buy a butterfly brush, wet cleaning supplies, a
loupe-viewer for the sensor...all for about $200.00.

I mostly find it is rare that I have to clean my sensor. When I do need
to clean it one of those bulb blowers seems to work much of the time.

If that does not work I use a bit of distiled water on a cotton swab.
