Hello all,
Wonder if there are still people who are not on holiday (like myself).
Did we discus the way to clean camera sensors already? If so, where can I find it. And if not I like to hear from you what you preffered cleaning kit or method is.
I use VisibleDust the the green swabs for my EOS 5D. But I wonder if a dry brush is better. I have also seen those "vacuumcleaner" from, I believe it is called Green Clean.
Best wishes,
Reinier

I use a dry brush. First I try a rocket blower (usually doesn't do much), then the brush, usually 2 or three times (check sensor in-between), then the sensor is clean. One sort of has to try a full sweeping motion across the whole sensor, otherwise dust particles are left where the brush lifts off the sensor.

The product is small and compact, easy also to take along for travel. I try to clean the brush itself just with a rocket blower and never touch anything with it except the sensor. I never trust the wet stuff, most liquids leave some residue behind.
