[QUOTE="hark, post: 145224, member: 13196"] I purchased the Eclipse Optic Cleaner along with the Sensor Swabs (#3 for FX) from a local camera store. I was going to buy them from Amazon but couldn't find both items in stock except for the pre-moistened swabs. It went well--I used 2 swabs to get everything off although most of it came off with the first swab. There are only 2 cautions I will mention: [LIST] [*]It is really difficult to see down in there while doing it--I shined a flashlight down in there to ensure the correct contact with the sensor.
