Why don't you clean the sensor yourself? Try a rocket blower first and if that doesn't shift it, use a swab and some eclipse fluid. That's what Calumet will do anyway. The sensor isn't as delicate as you might think.

As for the focusing screen.... I once paid £20 for mine to be cleaned and two weeks later, it was as bad as ever. It doesn't affect the image so try living with it :cool:
