A couple months ago I mentioned that I’d acquired some sensor dust, and then I was a bad blogger by not following up on that post with more information or what I’d learned.
I talked to a couple of my friends with DSLRs and did some research online and the method and system mentioned most often was the “Copper Hill” system. The short version is that the guy behind the method did some research and found a combination of tool, cloth, and solution which easily and effectively cleans dust from a DSLR sensor. He has created special tools for various sized sensors, and offers the materials in a kit. You can read through his tutorials and either acquire the materials on your own, or purchase a ready-to-go kit from his website.
Not wanting to botch things up on my own, I purchased one of his kits. I was very impressed by the super-fast shipping and set out to clean away… it was pretty easy and I must say the results were impressive. After two swipes with the cleaning pad, I couldn’t find any noticable sensor dust on a test shot of a white wall.
Here’s the link to the website for anyone needing to clean their DSLR: Copper Hill Cleaning Method.
