What loupe do you have and what wet solution? I heard eclipse shouldn't be used? I need to do this myself

I've probably listed before, but you can use this loupe with a dumb adapter: https://www.amazon.com​/gp/product/B0091SS310

it's made for DSLR's but due to the distance, you need an adapter as a spacer. You can also just freehand it, just float above the sensor.

charged brush, which you should do prior to wet cleaning, sometimes, when blowing doesnt work, do this: https://www.amazon.com​/gp/product/B001B9RI5O

last resort is the wet clean: https://www.amazon.com​/gp/product/B00K8MTQGY

Thanks both

a thing you should expect from a mirrorless camera. i learned how to clean it on my own. i bought swabs cleaner and a magnifying loupe with LED light.

Oddly I've had the opposite experience... all 3 of my DSLR's always seemed to attract dust to their sensors, my 6 different MILC bodies... hardly ever have been dusty. Not sure why, but I've only felt the need to clean the sensor on my X-E2 once and my a7S once, and even those times it was just for a couple of tiny specs of stubborn dust that wouldn't blow out with a turkey-baster style blower.

What's even more strange about it is that I'm almost exclusively a prime shooter and change my lenses constantly.

Pretty hard to impress I say. T2i?! Dang are iPhones better than that camera?

One from the hills behind my house. Took the girls outside to hike around and explore some of the coyote trails out here.

Hmmmm. I don't discredit Sony Lumix or Olympus, have a few of each but did order two EOS M5's a couple of hours ago.

I hope it works out for you. I know having long glass, you want something that will work well with it. I'll reserve judgement until I see some reviews on it, but until proven otherwise I'll remain cautious about it. I had all 3 versions prior, even importing the M2 from Japan. Interesting to see them take the Olympus approach with the flip down screen for selfies.
