angry but calm

Hiya All,

Well well well, here are two shots, yes that's right, of my Sensor, now believe it or not the #1 is the now CLEANED SENSOR yes that's right I did say cleaned & #2 is of the Sensor before it went in for PROFESSIONAL cleaning, to say I'm ticked off is an understatement still I remained calm & spoke to the person responsible in a very polite way & he assures me he can't understand it & used a 2X magnifier to check, hell & damn nation I can see the crap with my eyes & I need glasses so by this time tomorrow I will be a happy bunny or there will be a gentleman that will have a very strange walk owing to a camera being placed somewhere one wouldn't want a camera placed

Sorry if I sound terse folks but I'm bloody livid.

BTW I coughed up £35 for this piece of professionalism

Cheers for now
Mark

Hi Mark, it the words of Nan, WHAT A F*&**ING LIBERTY. I might be a little worried now if that's the results after a clean.... id that going to come off I wonder? I think a word with the shop that repaired it in the first place might be in order.

hey i have a Q.can u buy new sensers for your slrs? of is it the case when the senser is broke thats it?

MJ you can get a sensor replaced but I would imagine it would be better to get a new 400 due to the cost. I am only assuming this though.

Remember thats not the sensor the dirt is on but the glass IR filter over the top of it. Mind you I don't know if the filter is replaceable.

they got rid of the two big bits - probably just used a blower

yer i dont need one i was just wondering..hope u get it sorted budie.

Mark
I agree with Toby, I think the guy just used a blower and charged you 35 quid what an f$%#ing cheek.
This Hobby is already pricey enough as it is.
I try and save money where I can.
I can't believe Canon charges $80 for the N3 Extension cable.
that is why I did this to my TC 80N3 last weekend.

Anyway I would only charge you a lady for it and it would probably still have one or two spots but definitely no where near to that extent.
I would only charge you for the Sensor Swabs ($4-$5 each over here Photographic solutions)
I would use 2 for this, wet method is the last resort especially on the 400D
I would use other methods first to get the majority of those specks of the AA filter.

Wow, what a mess that is...I would have gone crazy seeing that in my camera after if was cleaned...no more business with them...good luck..steve

Hiya All,

Many thanks for all your comments on this, well I guess time will tell eh, in about two hrs. time I'll be facing the man off.

Toby,
I'm not sure what he used to ' CLEAN ' with but there was also a whole load of ' Fluff ' caught up on the two Lugs on either side of the Sensor opening, it's also very strange if one looks at #1 the surface is now duo-tone I just hope he hasn't ****ed the surface for his sake, I'll give him one chance to put it right coz everyone deserves a second chance in most circumstances, if that doesn't work it'll go to Canon & I'll sue the bugger.

Allan,
Neat idea

Wish me luck eh

Cheers for now

take it back, and say it was not cleaned to your satisfaction. i guess. i dont know. i have not run into this problem yet. ive been able to clean it myself. and not have any problems as of yet.

i would be super pissed too.

and i dont think anyone wants a camera stuff there. lol

I am thinking about opening a biz after seeing this PRO-work. I will clean sensors. I can't believe the person had the ba..s to tell you the sensor is clean. I wonder hos he takes a bath or does his laundry (let's no go there).

Bandit1 good luck.
