Sensor cleaning should never be done! At least not by a mere mortal. Let the experts at a service center do! Sadly, the world doesn't work that way. >There are some that will hardly ever change a lens, and only then under >surgical conditions, with vacuum-sealed rooms and rubber gloves.

I prefer not to change lenses out in the desert. I always get dust in my camera. I hate cleaning it because it is so delicate and sensitive. I keep filters on my lenses so that I can clean them by licking them and wiping them on my shirt. I should be glad my tongue doesn't reach all the back into the body.... >I do change lenses as often as I like - but I blow with my mouth around >the area of the lens/body mount before removing a lens from the body, and >a quick blow around the rear of the lens about to go on the camera before >removing the rear cap.

I use a little rubber rocket ship. No spit from my mouth, and no strange chemicals from a can. It serves double duty too, since something I photograph often is miniatures for Eric to sell on Ebay, so I use the bulb to clean them as well since the dust is gigantic through the macro lens. -- void *(*(*schlake(void *))[])(void *); * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
