I didn't have a sensor cleaning kit so I used the blower from a cheap blower brush and it did the trick. Did I get lucky? Does the coating I read about on the Pentax sensors make it easier to blow dust off? I assume it won't always be so easy to clean, so are there any suggestions a to which cleaning kit to get?
============= I like the visible dust brush. Seems to work. It's a little pricey, on the other hand, I view the sensor as being something rather important that I want to protect. Also there is no liquid and/or canned air involved, both of which make me a little queasy. Since I am not especially good with liquids and tend to overdo air. I worry sometimes the brush is just moving the dust around inside, so I upend the camera right afterward. OTOH, it builds up static, which is the point, so it should literally be picking the dust up. After all what can look HUGE in a picture, is actually very tiny. Hope that helps.
