[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 199800, member: 9240"] Last week's expedition into the fog did wonders for my D600's sensor - like "I wonder how the heck it got so freaking dirty?!" Lots of handheld bracket HDR stuff (none of which was worth anything) along with cool and foggy conditions and many lens changes meant that there was lots of stuff flying around inside there. I didn't notice until about 2/3 of the way through the edits of my photos, but while there was a couple minor dust spots in the beginning (I knew they were there) there was a mess on there by the end (which is why the HDR stuff wasn't worth a lick - too much cleanup). So, I set about to cleaning her yesterday and after 3 swabs there was still stuff in there on the very edges. Man was I annoyed. It was a bad day, so I put her down and went shooting with the D800 instead (boy is that nice). I attacked it again today, and two swabs later she's crystal clean. God, I hate the idea that I burned through almost $15 worth of cloth on a stick, but I'm glad she's clean again. And for the record, this was damp dust that stuck and not oil spots. It's been a good 4000 clicks since I got her back from Nikon before it needed a wet cleaning. No complaints here. Maybe I need to get a spare D600 when they start blowing 'em out? LOL [/QUOTE]
