did lenspen on my recently acquired 1Ds (owner wasn't into sensor cleaning). did well to get 90%+ of the gunk out. pretty easy process. i think i'd have to be medicated to use sensor-film. sure looks like it works though, just like bikini wax :)

a couple of canon bodies and a few good lenses

That looks a little scary. I used a similar film on a lens once and it took ages to get it to come off properly.

cheers

Try doing that in the field. Is it real? I'd be terrified. No, only if Canon would make an automated system like that :)

Holy mother of God :eek:

What is the point?
Doesn't look very safe, and takes AGES.
Sorry - sensor swab and E2 for me!

I really like pushing on your sensor with tweezers. But, if you managed not to scratch anything, I bet your sensor would be very clean.

Doesn't look too bad at all. Just have to be delicate.

That was terrifying! I was afraid for the guy.

I'll stick with my Arctic Butterfly...

It doesn't look any more scary than using other solutions and swabs to me. Either way you have a small space to work in and you have to excercise care and caution.

Indeed it looks fun ... if you have the steady hands of a neurosurgeon. Me, I'll let the professionals handle something delicate like sensor cleaning (because, if something does go wrong, I can at least blame someone without having to look into the mirror). :)

Is this some kind of joke?

Let the stuff dry for 30 min to 2 hours?

What a mess.
