I don't have any more spots!:lol:

I purchased the digital survival kit from Micro-Tools and highly recommend it. Comes complete with tools to clean your lens and sensor in a great little nylon carrying case that you can throw in your camera bag. Along with my Giottos Rocket blower I'm ready for the dirt.

Nice one!!

Don't overdo it with the cleaning though. It's easy to become obsessed with cleaning the sensor all the time. In many cases, you can get away with huge amounts of dirt on there without it being apparent in many shots.

Unless you're always taking shots of the sky at f/16!! ;)

Thanks Pete. It's funny that I never noticed any spots with my old beat up XT. When I got the 30D I took some picts out at the motorcycle track and that's when I noticed them. Used the rocket blower and that got 90% of them off. Hopefully I'll never have to use it again!

Here's a link of the kit I bought https://www.micro-tools.com …il.aspx?ItemCod​e=PSI-5K-F (external link)
