[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 299151, member: 16749"] …or for about ¼ the cost, try [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LQQQZQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00]this brush[/url]. Same basic idea as the Butterfly, but no motor, no lights, and it costs about $100 less. You use your rocket blower to blow air through the bristles, which accomplishes exactly the same thing that the Butterfly accomplishes by using its motor to spin the brush. I'll admit that the motorized spinning of the Butterfly looks like a mild advantage, but it's surely not worth an extra $100. I guess you could get the same effect by clamping [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LQQQZQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00]this brush[/url] into the chuck of a power drill, and spinning it that way, but really, it's not that much trouble to just use the rocket blower on it. My own hierarchy of sensor cleaning is as follows… [list=1][*]First, use the camera's built-in sensor cleaning cycle. [*]If that doesn't do it, then next, have the camera raise the mirror and open the shutter for cleaning, and use the rocket blower to try to blow anything off the sensor. [*]If there are still spots, then I use [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LQQQZQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00[/url]this brush[/url]. By this point, I very rarely have any spots left on my sensor. [*]In those rare instances where I have spots that survived all of the preceding, then it is time to resort to wet cleaning.[/list] [/QUOTE]
