>From an early K01D brochure (L1013): "Behind the "Dust Removal" designation lies an entire system unto itself. The surface of the low pass filter is sealed with a nanotechnology based fluorine coating. This ensures that dust cannot adhere to the sensor surface." Most of the articles I've read on fluorine coatings of many types often refer to their robustness, so if I were to hazard a guess I'd say ethanol will be safe to use for cleaning. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
