I'm thinking about swabbing my sensor, haven't done it before so it seems a bit scary.

This is my sensor before and after a brush sweep, still a few things that seems to be stuck on there...

Should I go to a pro and get it done for $150+ or just get some swabs and do it myself? What could really happen? Must be hard to scratch the sensor using swabs right?

Well, here's the thing...!! I did mine myself, and scratched the low pass filter in front of the sensor, and cost me nearly $1000 big ones to repair from Canon... :(

What is a low pass filter, where is it, and how did you scratch it?
