Hi everybody,

Gonna be picking up some stuff from BHphoto and since it will be an international delivery, I want to grab as many items as possible in this one go.

Looks like an Ec-S for my 1dmkii,maybe a 1.4tc.

Probably the canon version ,only because it has weather sealing.

What about cleaning kits?

Something to clean my sensor so I dont have to send it in to Canon.

Name a few stuff...thanks :D

My favourite cleaning kits are all the items in the CopperHill "Mega" kit - I've not found better anywhere. My experiences, hints and tips can be found here. The CopperHill sensor brush is, in my opinion, better value than the Visible Dust products, though that's not to disparage the Visible Dust products, which many rate as excellent.

With the CopperHill kit, you need to source Eclipse fluid locally, as it can't be airmailed. The international version of the Mega kit can be found here (external link). You probably want a decent blower bulb as well for more routine use.

CopperHill have more resellers than they did, but the major dealers don't carry theirr products.

I got the rocketblower DavidW.

I just need something to clean my sensor and perhaps my lenses.

I had no problem ordering from CopperHill for delivery to the UK. Their online store is here (external link) - all the kits described as "Euro" can be sent abroad. For other items, read the description, or email Nicholas.

Eclipse fluid can't be emailed - you will need to find a local source for that.
