Re: cleaning mirrors (was cleaning focusing screen)

[Paul Stenquist]

For cleaning the sensor I use an ear syringe. It's sterile when bought, 
so I keep it in the original box when not in use. So far, it has 
generated enough air to clean the sensor when necessary. However, it 
couldn't get every bit of dirt off of the mirror. That's when I 
resorted to the microfiber cloth. In any case, my camera is still 
working fine. I guess that's all that counts.

I'm concerned that they'll end up on the senosr.
Good point. I haven't decided myself which is more worthy of concern.
I have only cleaned the sensor on my istD a couple of times too. both 
times with canned air. I just can't bring myself to spend a hundred 
bucks on a cleaning kit.
