p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fotodiox adapters - Do you clean them?


Hi,

I just got my second Fotodiox adapter.
As I was buying my first adapter about
six months ago, I was able to read in
the reviews that a kind of black ash
fell off the adapter to the camera. I
protected my sensor by wiping off the
inner part of the adapter with an old
T-shirt. It went ok. I am doing the same
for the C/Y adapter I just got. I was
wondering if you do some sort of simi-
lar cleaning or if you may want to
suggest something.

Thank you in advance, kind regards,

igmolinav : ) !!!

A T-shirt? Why not a brush? Blowing air would be still better.
If you wipe the inside of your adapter, you polish the surface.
Polishing makes a shining surface, that can cause flare in your pictures.

I don't think that I've ever cleaned an adapter. I mean, I've probably dropped one or two, and then given them a wipe after picking them up, but that's not what you're talking about.

I have painted some, and I've stuck flocked paper to others, but that's just part of the Alt approach.
