Dirty sensor....NOT!

I finally have a clean sensor!

I've had my 20D for 7 years and could never afford the time (several weeks) to send it to a pro for cleaning. Last week I ordered "Sensor Swab" from B&H and received them in the mail yesterday.

So I decided to give it a try this morning. I used 1 swab and followed the directions. I took a before and after pic to see how well it would work. I am pleased with the result and the fact that it took less than 5 minutes and cost $17 (4 swabs with shipping).

Clean!
Clean!...

Kind of nerve racking until its done isn't it, I watched a ton of videos to get past the fear, then "here goes nothing".

It would appear your investment was well worth it. Nice.
