I have made my own ionizer to clean the sensor but it does not seem to work.
As discribed in the link herewith I tested with a scotch tape

But the result doesn't look very good.

Can you give me tip please ?

    Looks like a good idea, but from reading that page my thoughts are that it cannot deal with stuck dust. So those last bits probably need to be swabbed off.

    Thank you Nikolai.
    The spots are not very jarge. I can leave with them. I mean, my photography can :D
    The hair (?) on the bottom right is a little problem.
    I am going to take it away.
    Let me ask you: Why have you bought a 30D when you had already the 20D?
    Does the 30D means any improvement ?
    If you would have bought the 5D I could understand... In this case I was asking you: How about it ? thumb.gif
    Yes. Not of my business. OK :D

    Use the hand blower first and see if it helps. Bright LCD flashlight and UV light also help to get an instant visual assessment of the surface without going through the whole test shot routine.

    In a few words - yes. For me, it does.

    If I had enough (photographic) funds, I'd buy 5D the moment it came out. Eventually I will (or whatever FF solution would be on the market by the time:-). Right now - I simply can't afford it, how sad that is ne_nau.gif

    I was afraid to swab the sensor the first time I did it. Turns out that there's not much to worry about. Just make sure that your swap is scrupulously (meticulously) so you don't scratch the IR filter (which is glass, BTW) with a bit of grit. I've done it a couple of times and taught my brother how to do it as well. Not a big deal. There's a long thread in the Hall of Wisdom on how to do it and all the pros and cons.

    Everything's fine. I've just been busier than a one-armed paper hanger. (A paper-hanger is a person who applies wallpaper to indoor wall, interior decorator. Imagine trying glue wall paper to a wall with only one arm/hand.)

    I thought everyone knew that cliche. :)

    Swabbing the sensor is scary the first time, but with care it's no big deal. I use the Copper Hill kit & read through all their instructions carefully. Run a google & you'll find him (IIRC it's a pbase site).

    Great post! I can just see the mosquito. "oohh, oohh, where to start?!" Brings to mind another cliche: a target rich environment.
