Sensor Cleaning.
opium
the good old film cameras. My query is, Just how difficult is it to
clean my own cameras sensor? Or is it better for me to pay someone to
do it for me?

Often, two or three puffs from a clean ear syringe is all that is needed.
More aggressive methods include dry brushing or swabbing with eclipse fluid.
All doable and safe, with a little care taken. Few horror stories out
there, by the way ... so most folks are doing well on their own.

I bought the pads and eclipse fluid from
<sa...@qualitycamera.com.au>
Inspite of what their site may say about the contents of the eclipse fluid
pack, you will need to buy a separate package of 100 pec-pads. I made my
own tool from a very small cake icing spatula, (cost AU$0.99 ) it has a
firm but pliable blade.
I swap lenses often, attach my camera open to the atmosphere on the top of
a 0.5m dia telescope and so the sensor gets dirty fairly quickly. It has
also been suggested that the air pumping action of zoom lenses will draw
loose fibres from the inside of camera bags into the mirror chamber
of the camers.
If you own a DSLR, the facts of life are death, taxes and dirty sensors.

THIS!
You will now become part of a Mail Order business. In this business
the
product is not solid or tangible, it's a service. You are in the
business
of developing Mailing Lists. You deal with information, and
information is
power. Many large corporations are happy to pay vast amounts for
quality
lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to
the
income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included
on
such a list.
I used to work my butt off for someone else, but not any more. Getting
on
to the internet changed everything. I came across an article that said
you
could make thousands of dollars within weeks with a once only
investment of
$6.00! "Yeah, right, what a scam," is what I thought. I was skeptical
to
say the least. Still, I was curious. I figured I could stand to lose
six
bucks, so I kept reading.
I'm pretty glad I did. All you had to do was send $1.00 to the 6 names
at
the addresses listed in the article. Then, you placed your name and
address
at the bottom of the list at position #6, and posted the article to at
least
200 newsgroups.
I felt pretty silly after I'd sent the letters, and it took a bit of
time to
post the message to all those newsgroups. To be honest, I pretty much
forget about the whole deal there and then. "It's only six dollars. No
big
deal."
Was I in for a surprise. GUESS WHAT! Within 7 days, I started getting
money
in the mail! It was amazing! I figured it would end, but it didn't.
The
money just kept rolling in. I made about $18.00 in the first week. By
the
end of the second week I'd made a total of over $980. $10,328 in week
three, and it just went on and on. This is now my fifth month and I'm
sitting on about $273,000. Needless to say I quit my job a while back.
(I
used to work as a computer software manager)
It was certainly worth the $6.00 and change for the stamps. I've spent
more
than that on the lottery, without a cent to show for it!!
Print a copy of this article, so you can refer back to it, or cut and
paste
it to Notepad or Word. The process is very simple and is comprised of
3
easy steps. If you're wondering why I'm letting you in on this, I'll
explain it to you shortly. Bear with me. This works.
STEP 1: Get 6 separate sheets of paper and write the following on each;
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
Get 6 US$1.00 bills (or the equivalent in your local currency) and
place a
dollar and a note in each of the 6 envelopes. Fold the bill into the
paper
in order to prevent it from being seen, and possibly stolen.
You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each containing a dollar and
the
note. Don't forget to add your name and address.
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 R. Arambasic, 9 Ashmore St, Brunswick, VIC, Australia 3056
#2 S. Vouge, P.O. Box 5173, New York, N.Y. 10163, USA
#3 R. Dumancic, Mlinarska 22A, Zagreb, 10000, Croatia
#4 D. Lozina, 128 Nicholson St, Fitzroy, VIC, Australia 3065
#5 B. Spaleta, 39 Stewart Gve, Campbellfield, VIC, Australia 3061
#6 J. Wurdemann, P.O. Box 912, North Branch, MN. 55056, USA
STEP 2: Take name #1 off the list above, move the other names up (6
becomes
5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (There's
heaps
out there) All you need is 200, but the more you post, the more money
you
make!
********* HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS (It's easy) *********
1. You don't need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Cut
and paste this letter to your Notepad. 2. Remember to eliminate the #1
position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone else's
positions),
and add yourself as #6. 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file.
If
you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
this
file to go back to.
*** NETSCAPE USERS ***
Step 4. Within the Netscape program, go to the pull down window
entitled
'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down menu
'Options',
select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments a list of all the
Newsgroups on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup you
desire.
>From within this newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button, which should
be
in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This will bring up a
message
box.
Step 5. Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that everyone sees
as
they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group.
Step 6. Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file, and cut and
paste
it the letter into the body of your posting.
Step 7. Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're done
with your
first post! Congratulations...
*** INTERNET EXPLORER USERS ***
Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
Step 5. Fill in the subject.
Step 6. Same as #6 above
Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button.
Alternatively, you can use a program like Forte Agent, which you can
find on
the Web.
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away,
after you get the hang of it. It takes about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU'LL
MAKE!!
POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
There you go! You'll begin receiving money from around the world
within
days! You may eventually even want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you'll receive. Should you wish to stay anonymous, you
may
use a pseudonym, as the postman will deliver it just the same.
**MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
So, why am I letting you in on this. Let me explain.
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies. I make $5.00 with
my
name at #6 on the letter. Now, if each of the 5 individuals who sent
me
$1.00 make the minimum 200 postings, with my name at #5, and only 5
people
respond to each of the original 5, that's another $25.00 for me. Now
those
25 each make 200 posts with my name at #4, and with 5 replies each, I
earn
an additional $125.00! Those 125 turn around and post the minimum 200
with
my name at #3 and receive 5 replies each, I make $626.00 more! Get the
picture? Five responses is actually a below norm response rate. The
average is about 15 to 25. For example, here's what you can expect to
earn from 15 responses:
at #6 $15.00 at #5 $225.00 at #4 $3,375.00 at #3 $50,625.00 at
#2
$759,375.00 at #1 $11,390,625.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in
the newsgroups, and send out your $6.00 to names on the list, putting
your
name at number 6 again (which is what I'm doing), and start posting
again.
The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world
are
joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, just as you
are
now!!
Can you afford $6.00? I believe so. (I just didn't buy lunch that day)
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you
the
money? Doesn't matter. There are tons of new honest users and new
honest
people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday, willing to
give
it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users daily.
This will work for you. Be honest, be fair. Remember, what goes around
comes around.

I'm just using an artist brush, and so far it works very well. My first
attempt just smeared the dust around on the sensor. Second try I held the
camera upside down and brushed back and forth several times. It worked!
Any good quality artists brush will do. Mine is synthetic. I can't put my
hands on it right now, otherwise I'd tell you exactly what brand and size it
is.
I read an article in the Photoshop magazine that described using the artist
brush. Make sure to wash the brush before using it. Wash and rinse it with
purified water. Let it dry completely. The article recommended blowing the
brush with canned air to provide an electrostatic charge. But mine seems to
work fine without.
Just take your time and be careful. If I can do it, anyone can.

Do it yourself. It's a trivial exercise that a lot of people seem to
hype up.
Dave Collins
Just be careful and you should be fine.
