[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 667175, member: 13090"] I don't use rocket blowers because they've never done diddly squat for me. I also don't like the idea of blowing crap around inside the shutter-box. Rightly or wrongly, I also think many people assume, in looking at a sensor brush, that the idea is to use it like a broom and "sweep" the sensor -- like it's a tiny kitchen floor -- which is entirely wrong. When using a sensor brush you charge it with static electricity and drag it over the sensor in one direction using nothing more than the weight of the brush itself. The static charge in the bristles is what lifts debris off the sensor. If have found it to be very effective. That being said, if a rocket blower gets the job done for you, go with it. [USER=4923]@nickt[/USER] and I have never shared a sensor brush to my knowledge. [/QUOTE]
