itsnoelb Posts: 362 Joined: 09/11/2011	Is it feasible or advisable to clean the sensor. I have developed a small spot consistently, regardless of lense. Shows up most on solid, light colored backgrounds and moreso at short focal lengths. Method to do it myself?, or send it to a shop? ------------------------- "Even if your on the right track, you'll get run over by a train if you just sit there" Will Rogers....I believe "Bad things only happen when GOOD people do nothing" "EVERYDAY is.......Christmas"
