Hi,
First, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum :-)
I have a really grubby sensor! When the spots first started to appear I didn't really know about the whole sensor business and assumed I had a dirty lens or filter. Of course, now I know better, but it means that some of the really visible spots have been there for easily 3/4 months.
So...I will try the blower method, but am anticipating limited success. I feel confident enough to wet clean the sensor and it has been suggested to me by a friend that I use medical alcohol and either a lint-free cloth or - get this - a cotton bud. (the theory being that any fibres left by a cotton bud are big enough to be really easily removed.
But isn't it in the rules somewhere that I should be spending a whole heap of money on some specialist kit?
