As M9 owners, it seems many of us have had to deal with sensor cleaning issues like never before in our photographic lives. I thought I had things pretty well solved with the occasional use of Dust Aid Platinum adhesive swabs to lift off the occasional dust specks introduced (probably) from frequent lens changes. I did this a week ago and to my surprise, the device left some debris on the sensor that wouldn't come off with repeated touches with a fresh Platinum swab. So where to turn...here of course. So I read the threads on sensor cleaning, ordered the Eclipse 2 swabs that come pre-moistened (because I read how often the mistake one makes is to put too much fluid on the swab), and went at it, following the directions to the T. One swipe across, don't lift off, swab back across the other way, and dispose of the swab.
The result is that my sensor is covered with what look to be fluid marks..almost like the water spots we once saw on our film after it was dry if we didn't use a wetting agent as a final rinse.
So my question is, now what to do? I have four more E2 swabs, each sealed in their individual packets. Any ideas on this? It would be great to get M9 sensor cleaning down to a sure thing. This floundering around is very frustrating, especially when I have shoots scheduled for next week. Thanks for your advice!
