What sensor cleaning kit

[JETA]

I used to have a thread marked here about sensor cleaning and for the life of me cannot find it.

My Mark III has needed the sensor cleaned for sometime. It's got pretty dirty and the rocket blower isn't working at all.

What do you recommend? I'm buying a new lens probably tomorrow and would like to add a sensor cleaning kit to my order.

Suggestions? Are there any good tutorials that explain exactly how to do this? Am I stupid to try it on my own?

TIA!

I got lucky last year and was able to have CPS do mine last year at the vegas race. Since I have hit the M2N with the blower. Here is a link Jeta that you might find useful.

Hey Jeta,

I have been thinking about the same thing the last few days. I'm leaning towards the Visible Dust products. The Arctic Butterfly, and the sensor swaps. Check out Moose Petersons blog. He has a nice video showing how he cleans all of his gear. Here is a link to the video showing how he cleans his sensor.

Thanks Jimmy and Mike. Eclipse is the one I was thinking about. After reading and going through the links I think the artic butterfly is probably the way I'm going to go. On the Luminous Landscape they said they've never needed swabs yet, that the artic butterfly has got everything.

Thanks again!
