Guest redge Posted January 10, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) It isn't an immediate issue, but when the time comes... I have a choice between doing it myself or paying my New York dealer (FotoCare) to do it or, I suppose, sending the camera to Leica's New Jersey office. Given the cost of the camera, my inclination is to pay my dealer or NJ to do it, but I gather that many of you do it yourselves. I was at B&H in New York a few days ago, and when I asked about products to clean the sensor, which B&H sells, the B&H employee that I was dealing with told me flat out to pay someone to do it. Given that B&H itself doesn't clean sensors, I found the advice interesting. FotoCare charges $50 or five cleanings for $200. They run a significant rental operation for commercial photographers so I'm sure have a fair amount of experience with this. Don't know what Leica New Jersey charges or what the turnaround time is. Advice appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted January 10, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2014 I do my own. Rocket blower most of the time. Arctic Butterfly sometimes. Visible Dust for wet clean. Haven't tried the sticky rubber tipped things yet but maybe in the future if I can get one. This thing is a dust magnet until the static dissapates.

mirekti Posted January 10, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 10, 2014 I would never again use Visible Dust for wet sensor cleaning. This was my experience http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/showpost.php?p=2549066 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted January 10, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 10, 2014 And, when or hoe would this happen? It seems to get less and less prone to collecting dust as time goes by. My M9-P did the same. Required less and less wet cleaning the more I used it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
