Better shots for 40 bucks

I don't know how many of you have ever attempted sensor cleaning but I've used the wet method quite a few times and it can be a bit of a pain in the butt that's why I'll be ordering this one.

Defiantly watch the video.

Sensor cleaning is not a task for the light of heart, and for users there has never really been a risk-free option for this arduous procedure. Hard brushes and swabs risk scratching the sensor, while liquid swabs or other wet solutions cause their own problems. Luckily for you, a solution called the Sensor Gel Stick that camera manufacturers like Leica, Nikon, and Canon have been using in their cleaning labs for years is now available to everyone.

I paid a local camera dude to clean two of my cameras for $160. He did a really great job, but this might be a good thing to pick up.

My puffer is a constant companion. I think my microfiber cloths must be mating.

One night I mistook lens cleaner for eye drops. Pain is an effective teacher.
