"Sensor Cleaner suggestions?"


US
          

On small aperture photos, I am seeing spots in the same spot in my photo. Any suggestions/favorite sensor cleaning tools? I'm in rural New England, I'm sure there isn't a shop nearby that could do the cleaning for me.

I personally use sensor swabs and eclipse and have had no problems at all. There are other alternatives. However, before wet cleaning I would get a Rocket blower and use the Mirror Lock Up function and try that first.

Copper Hill http://www.copperhillimages.com/ and Visible Dust http://www.visibledust.com/ have products and more importantly videos on cleaning sensors. All I have ever used is a Giottos Rocket Blower and an Arctic Butterfly. I also use a micro fiber cloth to keep the camera and lens mounts clean. This seems to help short circuit anything from getting near the sensor.
