Peter Kilmister Posted May 14, 2015 Share #61 Posted May 14, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) How old is your camera? I have never taken any special precaution when changing lenses, and I have no problems with dust. The fact that it can't be removed with a blower makes me wonder if it isn't oil that hit the sensor, which is very common with new cameras and has to be removed with a thorough wet cleaning. Good question. The only time I had blobs on the sensor was after using an OEM extension to enable close-ups. That might have been the cause as it took a lot of bulb blower power to shift it. Always be wary of OEM kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephengv Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share #62 Posted May 15, 2015 I shoot landscape and have used a changing bag with no problem in fairly hostile environments such as Death Valley and on the Oregon & Washington coasts. What changing bag do you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted May 20, 2015 Share #64 Posted May 20, 2015 Change them only in a clean room. You can never be 100% certain that a clean room is 100% clean 100% of the time.. The only solution if you are serious about keeping your sensor dust free is this: Never change your lens - ever. It's just not worth the risk.

Or maybe never unpack your camera and risk mounting a lens in the first place. Just put the unopened box on a shelf and dream about what it would be like to actually use the camera...lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness, says me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
