D-SLR BrushTM - Sensor Cleaning Brush for cameras with 1.5x / 1.6x sensors size (Accessories)

Customer Review

Now after I had my Alpha 77 uses nearly a year, dust particles are deposited on the sensor. When shooting still relatively invisible (except for larger aperture values), the dust particles were visible when filming as annoying gray spots in the image. The Alphas use yes this a cropped area of ​​the sensor - that the stains were conspicuous here.

Since this is my first SLR kamere (or SLT), I had never before confronted with the problem. I did some research on the internet and first gained me a bellows. This has not removed all the dust, even if he should be the first agent ever to eliminate sensor dust - direct contact with the sensor is nevertheless avoided.

Before wet cleaning, I had more respect, so continued my research. I came across the SensorBrush. Although the price has deterred me something, but in the end I still slammed - and did not regret it.

The very first attempt success has brought. I have:

1. The lens removed.
2. Turn the mirror abgepustet with the bellows.
3. unlocked the mirror and raised.
4. The mirror back and the interior with the sensor blown out by bellows.
5. unpacked the brush and use it according to supplied instructions:
6. Without the brush hairs touching, this bepustet with the bellows on all sides by air (the hair is so charged).
7. deleted altogether smoothly over the sensor, once from left to right. I had the feeling to have been a little too gently - so I once again swept from left to right, with very light pressure.
8. folded down the mirror and snapped.
9. draufgepackt the lens.
10 made a test photo and started the video mode - everything clean.

In short - as an absolute sensor cleaning newcomer it was no problem at all for me to remove the dust grains with the SensorBrush. Together with a blower we have here an effective remedy for dust. Only downside is the rather high price, which is why I pull a star in the rating. A brush should not exceed 25 Euro cost (shipping not included).

Another reason why I allowed myself to brush at the end: I guess you can thus also clean the sensitive mirror of SLTs when the blower does not help sometimes. Liquid cleaning is here indeed be fatal and even wiping with a cloth can probably already cause dents. Thus, the brush a good cleaning method seems to me here. But I have not yet tried.
