    Sensor Cleaning
    Ok i have been changing out lenses recently and now i have dust on my CCD . I tried blowing the dust out , that helped but did not get all the dust bunny`s out. So now im going to the second phase , actualy touching the CCD. So what i want to know is what size of a swab do i need . I figure that a 17mm will do the trick. Heres what im planning on getting , but it does not say that it`s for D50`s.

    Humm link does not work , but if you type in sensor clean in the seach panel it brings it up !


    So if someone has experience at this ,im awaiting your reply :)

    Thanks in advance .

    And no im not paying a tech guy $60 to $100 buck`s to do it lol

    Which camera do you have?

    I have a D70 & a D2h, and they both take different size brushes. I have the sensor brush from Visibledust.com, and have been very happy with it.

    I just realized you've got the D50- I think it takes the same size brush as my D70.

    Its really easy to do, they've got directions on their site, as well as there is a few threads on the site that deal with cleaning your sensor, just do a search for them. Visibledust is a Canadian company as well, so you won't have to pay the duties and all that good stuff :D

    I have the 14mm Sensor Swi[e, Eclipse solutoin, and Pec Pads for the real difficult jobs.
    The first course is a Sensor Brush.
