cleaning supplies...

What is the solution called and where did you acquire it. Hopefully the same place has the swabs?

Thanks!

Tim,
I know that Tallyn's has them, as I am sure would most other large camera dealers.

The fluid is methanol, I believe.

It's actually called 'ECLIPSE OPTICAL CLEANER FOR SENSOR SWABS'. You can find it at Tallyn's. You also need the sensor swabs themselves. They are expensive.

Hi all

I cleaned my sensor for the first time, had dust grasped to exactly, however I tested the following one, I arranged a painting compressor, that if it uses when reduced models are painted(cars, airplanes, etc...) and already with a filter inlaid in the pipe of the compressor, to prevent moistnesses, I made an adaptation with a peak of one pen(BIC style) extremely well clean and obtained to remove all the dirtiness of the sensor, really! :cool:

To always use the CCD directed toward low, not to allow that the dirtiness is in the place, but that it has left this. I make this work about 1 or 2 cm of the CCD.
