This morning as I was cleaning the imaging sensor of 1DX camera using a Lenspen "Compact lens cleaner" (see picture below), the felt tip partly separated (unglued) from its rubber base which came in contact with the sensor surface and left a small smudge on it. The smudge I cleaned up easily, without any trace as far as I could tell by looking at it with a naked eye. I hope the sensor is OK as one would not expect rubber to be able to abrade the sensor filter surface that easily, however, one never knows, and I shall take some test shots soon to find out.
I believe the cause of the felt tip separation is a manufacturing defect, thus I shall not be using that particular Lenspen type again, as I've never experienced anything of the sort with a wide variety of similar products used in the past....Show more →
Not sure why you were using a "lens" cleaning tool on your sensor, big no-no. A typical LensPen has a slight concave profile whereas the SensorKlear is flatter with 3 pointed corners. Maybe the felt piece hooked onto a sidewall and got pulled off. Yes, take a test shot to see what the sensor looks like, I'll be interested. It's not good when a hard object touches the surface, but hopefully you didn't mark it.
