I have a stack of Pec Pads and a spatula which has been trimmed to the right width for the DS sensor. Each time I clean my sensor, I use a full Pec Pad wrapped around the end of the spatula just so... so that the middle of the pad is what contacts the sensor. I would not cut the pad at all as it just runs the risk of introducing little flecks of god-knows-what which could come loose at just the wrong time. > What's the accepted / understood / hacked practice here? I don't know what your "sensor swabs" look like, but take a look at the "Copperhill" site and see if you might not be able to adapt some of his techniques to the bits you have. http://www.copperhillimages.com/index.php?pr=Tutorials -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
