(in)visible dust
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Just a quick plug for that rarity which is a product which actually works exactly as advertised. Last Christmas my brother gave me some Visible Dust DSLR sensor cleaning products.
Today, after finally getting sick of all the gunk on my sensors I actually used it. Up until now I had gone by the principle of 'why do work now if I can do it later' and as a result ended up spending a lot of time spotting out dust in photos.
Well, it turns out that cleaning using the arctic butterfly takes a couple of minutes at most, and really isn't hard at all. I wish I'd used it earlier!
The only down side to it is that it might seem a little pricey, but once you realise that Canon charges £80 (that's about $1000 to you US folk) for a sensor clean you soon get over it.
So kudos to Visible Dust, all the more so considering that their product R&D is apparently conducted in appallingly foggy conditions.
