Hello,
Yesterday, while shooting, I noticed a few large spots on the screen/viewfinder. Lens were clean, but examining the sensor under magnification, I found the "spot"
Attempted to clean the sensor with a gel stick (purchased a while ago from Photographylife.com) which has worked fine in the past. Was unable to remove the all of the spots, especially the large ugly one. I did not attempt to further clean the sensor - I didn't want to risk damaging anything.
Purchased the "UES FFR24 Professional DSLR SLR Digital Camera CMOS and CCD Sensor Cleaning Swab Kit for Full Frame Sensors" on Amazon which uses broom-like cleaner (with solution) to wipe away the dirt/dust on the sensor.
It's due to arrive in a few days.
Has anyone used this product? I am trying to take the cheaper, hopefully more timely manner, of cleaning my sensor instead of sending it out.
I thought I would try cleaning the sensor one more time, and if unable, then heading to the local camera store (ProCam) to see what they can do (and charge) for cleaning.
Appreciate any thoughts / experiences re: amateur vs professional sensor cleaning
thanks and have a great week
