I recently had more problems with it than ever. Used to be dust free for weeks-months, now one shoot can come back with 5 visible dust spots :/

Is a pain only if you have a phobia of cleaning your sensor and the fear is totally unwarranted for IMHO.

Take a piece of ordinary plastic lens and wipe it with your shirt for an entire day and chances is that they will still be no scratches.

I have no phobia of cleaning my shoes but getting them muddy is still a pain

Well for me, I simply unmount the lens and wipe the optical low-pass filter around with SensorKlear. Painfree execution in under 1 minute.

Here is the lab test result for lenspen cleaning efficiency for anyone that is interested.

Just got my Lenspen sensor loupe and sensor pen too, works amazingly well. The link however, is for lenspen on lenses not sensors though...

As far as I am concern, the optical anti-aliasing or low-pass filter directly in front of the sensor is a piece of glass too so technically you are cleaning a glass and not the sensor itself. ;p

They are still made of completely different materials though - but I digress. OT too much

Dust on sensor still ok. But dust inside the viewfinder is damn irritating!

Wow... at the moment, we're equally divided!

 

[pokiemon]

for me i think prevention is better than cure. i wear glasses using zeiss lens and even so scratches are unavoidable. i will probably use a blower to do a level 1 & 2 maintenance. otherwise will probaby send it for professional cleaning.

lol. on screen yes. technically 6 out of 9 or 67% say dust is a pain one way or the other.

The poll is rigged! It's designed to make dust a pain (one way or the other) :sweatsm:

Six years, no dust problem, even with four of those years in a high construction area.

Use olympus, best anti-dust for sensor
The way I change lense will make other people scream, or at least jawdrop. LOL

I only clean the sensor when I can see dust on my pic :think:

It's part of the pleasure of digital photography.

That reminds me I need to get a bottle of pure methanol if I want to continue to enjoy the pleasure. :bsmilie:
