Got me to thinking. Does anyone else clean their own sensors? Right now, for quick cleaning, I use a Giotto Rocket. Seems to get largest particles out of the way.
If that doesn't work, my second line of defense is a Visible Dust Arctic Butterfly brush. I use this often and I feel very safe with it.
My last line of defense is what's called the "Copperhill Method". Using lint free PecPads and Eclipse (methanol), it's a wet cleaning procedure. This is by far the most thorough method of cleaning the sensor. This is also the most hazardous. I think I've done this a half-dozen times or so in the past two years. It always makes me nervous, but it works.
Thoughts?
