So after close to 5 years of DSLR ownership today I had a first. I physically cleaned a sensor (on the K10D to be precise). Up until today I always managed to get rid of the dirt with a blower bulb. But the stuff on this sensor was well & truly stuck on. I finally had a use for my Pantax cleaning kit . The thing worked a treat. It was all done in less than a minute (took longer to read the instructions :-) So I highly recommend the Pentax "Imagesensor Cleaning Kit" O-ICK1 kit to anyone. It's dead easy to use & cheaper than a lot of the cleaning systems on the market.
I just got a K20D to replace my K10D, couldn't resist the price. To my dismay though it came with a nice visible spec of dust on the sensor. I see the manual lists the official cleaning kit as an accessory. What an up-sell strategy, shipping a new body with dust already present. ;-)
Going to get the blower out later today and hopefully make my new camera like new.
