Here comes the next dumb question. If the dust bunnies are visible in the top right of the final image, is that where they are on the sensor? Or are they on the bottom left of the sensor??? Thanks for your patience!

On mine, image spots on the upper left correlate to dust on the lower right.

If yours works otherwise, then pry the image sensor out of the camera and turn it around.

NOT!

Um, that would be true if you are facing the sensor when cleaning it...

Isn't it hard to clean if you are facing the other way? :)

Not if you're using a mirror. And the advantage is that you won't have to worry about breathing into the light box and misting up the sensor. :mrgreen: :lol:
