p.1 #1 · What's a good wet sensor cleaning solution?


So I have determined that one of my bodies is downright filthy, and I should do a wet cleaning. Here is the original thread: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/628932

One of the suggestions was to use the Copperhill packages. Looking for people with experience using this package, or any other good non-destructive wet-cleaning packages. I must be honest that I'm pretty scared to actually do this (what if I mess up and kill CCD or something?), but I may as well give it a shot.

Thanks.

The Copperhill kit is indeed an excellent one. I use it and have had no trouble at all. The first time is scary, but once you've done it & see how simple it really is, you will wonder what all the to-do was about. Also remember that you are not actually touching the sensor itself, but a glass filter over it. Take your time with it, follow the extensive instructions they give & you should be fine.

I'm quite happy with the VisibleDust Sensor Clean fluid, although I can't figure out why the "spatula" swabs are so incredibly expensive. I'm still using the round-tipped FisherBrand poly swabs that came with my original buy, but they're almost all gone. They cost about $20 for a pack of 100, if you can find a supplier. I recently found a supplier, but their minimum $150 order gets a whole lot more swabs than I'll ever need (about a 60 year supply, by my reckoning).

Copperhill Method works well. Just get the kit with all the fixings. Like Claudermilk said, once you try it, it's no big deal. The first time may take awhile because you're following the instructions carefully and a little scared to break the camera. After awhile, you just scrub away like it's no big deal.

I use the Visible Dust Sensor Clean and swabs if I have to do a wet clean of the sensor. Works well.
