[QUOTE="PeteB, post: 236420, member: 18709"] Hi everyone, Useful inputs, examples, and perspectives. Thanks. I've had quite a few larger spots such as you showed. I sometimes wonder if the predominance of spots in the top and corners is more due to the lighter sky being up there and spots being less visible in darker parts of the scene... Jake - you asked about blowers. Absolutely. The spots you see don't move with a blower. Most spots I get don't and aren't even affected by an Arctic Butterfly. There have been a few large ones that a blower turned into an arc of successively-smaller spots. As in a blob of oil being blown out in an arc by the blower's breeze. I've had decent success with Visible Dust's products - mostly the Arctic Butterfly II for dust particles, green swabs, corner swabs, Smear Away, and VDust Plus. I find their loupe low build quality and get much better results with Carson's less-expensive highly-adjustable SM-44 5X LED loupe. I saw mention in one of Jake's links the idea of using a blower to clean the mirror chamber (mirror down) when changing lenses. Seems a useful idea. I too have one of the gel sticks coming. Should be interesting although I'll be very pleasantly surprised if it works well on oily or sticky spots. Then again, I hope trying it on one doesn't get the gel stick too dirty and wreck it. Photowyzard - I searched and found your review of the [URL="http://nikonites.com/d800/16595-sensorklear-loupe-kit-quick-review.html#axzz2oY9HRA2f"]SensorKlear kit[/URL]. Seems interesting, and it cleans oily, wet, or sticky spots? I'll look at it more closely. [/QUOTE]
