Having been out at the weekend I got back eagerly to see the results of my work. What I saw looked liked small blobbs on some of the pics.

A quick search thro POTN and it looked likes I had sensor dust and it had been seen due to one of the pics being taken at F/22

So before I had a look at the sensor I took a photo at F/29 and this is what I saw

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

My god, it looked like world war three in there!!

So I set the camera to semsor cleaning mode and used my new rocket and then took another pic again at f/29

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

I also took one at F/22

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

...and F/18

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

As you can see the rocket got most of the sh1t but there seems to some remaining

I read another thread that suggested a product http://www.copperhillimages.com/shop...ation.php?id=3

.

This seems to be only available in the US. Is there something available in the UK or anyone got any other suggestions or am I being too fussy?

Permanent ban

With those results from the blower, I bet if you continue to blow, you will get 99% of it out. At least with a blower, you won't scratch anything and you can blow for awhile.

If it's any help I ordered a copperhill kit direct without any problem. I think he's got a European agent in Switzerland but the prices seemed better in the US.

cheers
