No, for some reason it wouldn't let me post a photo in my original reply to the dust on sensor topic. If you want to try this with a small shopvac, this is what you are looking for. They are sometimes hard to come by and the hardware shops don't even always know about it.

You can use "quote reply" to your original comment, or just click any reply button in that thread (NOT quick reply). You can't edit or add to your original comments once an hour has passed since posting.

made my own with different size rubber hoses and plastic and brass tubes, even one with a tooth brush. ... using a little common sense works wonders.

Using any type of vacuum to clean a sensor Does Not Work.. How do I know, I've tried.. What it does is pull more dust filled air into your camera and this dust will attach to the sensor. Then it takes a lot more wipes and an extra hour to clean the sensor probably.

That's what I've heard. I also heard something about the "wind" generating static that attracts dust.

If you want to use these attachments to clean your sensor, you go right ahead, but I'll use my professional sensor cleaning for my investments.

sorry , but you are 100% WRONG .due to my shooting activity , birds in the bush with frequent lenses change , i collect dust frequently , i use a mini shop vac , take a few sec exposure lens off , and voila , clean as a whistle .never had to swipe sensor .same as cleaning lens rear .

agillot

never experienced that .

agillot
