Photographic Solutions Sensor Swab Ultra 33mm Type-4 Digital Imaging Sensor Cleaner Swabs for Cleaning Medium Format Mirrored or Mirrorless Cameras. Sensor Dust & Oil Remover (Pack of 12)

I was somewhat nervous about cleaning the sensor on my Sony A7R. However I needn't have been. Using the Type 3 Sensor Swabs with a few drops of Eclipse Sensor Cleaning Fluid (both manufactured by Photosol.com) was really very easy and sorted out the problem in one go. The instructions on the box are easy to follow and there's a couple of useful videos on the manufacturers website which show how to undertake the task of cleaning as well as rather reassuringly guaranteeing the safety of the sensor when using the product. The only negative is the high price of both the swabs and the fluid But then again, it all works out much cheaper than sending the camera off to have it professionally cleaned. All in all an effective though rather expensive product.

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. First off, these swabs are definitely pricey—currently over $3 per swab, which seems steep. But here’s the thing: they work, and they work exceptionally well, especially when used with Aeroclipse. I had some very stubborn spots on my sensor that a blower and even a carbon sensor tool couldn’t budge. These swabs, however, handled them with ease. Yes, they are expensive, but considering the cost of sending a camera out for sensor cleaning and the downtime involved, it’s worth it. Regarding streaking, I did notice some, but the trick is to use more fluid—about 10 drops. If you do see streaks, they can be easily cleared with a LensPen SensorKlear. In short, while the price is high, these swabs offer a reliable, effective solution that saves both time and hassle for the working pro or avid amateur.

L'ho usato per pulire il mio sensore. Con un paio di questi e il liquido, con due di questi ho pulito il sensore perfettamente. Operazione da fare con attenzione, magari documentandosi su internet. Il tipo di sporco che ho eliminato in foto non si vedeva. Con i video RAW invece c'era un "pelo" visibilissimo oltre che qualche macchiolina che sono spariti dopo la pulizia. Prima di fare il passaggio ho anche usato una pompetta ad aria e una spazzolina per il sensore di quelle finissime che passate vicinissime quasi senza toccare il sensore attraggono la polvere. In internet ci sono molti modi e spiegazioni-

c'est hors de prix, mais quand j'essaye des produits moins chers, ils ne sont pas aussi efficaces. ça reste cher tout de même !
