it is advisable not to clean sensor yourself. those small stuff actually you can try find 3rd party with good reputation for doing it, they even will tell you price first when you ask for the price...not like those former SC that you need to waste time to send your camera and wait for they inspect (you need to pay inspection fees, nikon i think rm20 for that) then quote you back....

No choice every now and then I accidentally touch the back element cause I'm using belt system. Even lenspen also can't clean properly >_< Just bought a box of pre moistened swabs from Zeiss for cleaning, hopefully it will work well  QUOTE(ongdennis @ Dec 13 2013, 06:06 PM) hahaha....because ur lens is very expensive Still need to clean >_< else image quality crap also no point.

It was rather painful at first, then skin inflammation started appearing @_@ Took around 3-4 days for them to fade away, very itchy throughout! Amazing how something so small can cause so much trouble lol, without the need to sting or bite

I usually wipe with clean/new lens tissue soaked with 100% alcohol. That also I slowly wipe to avoid wiping off the coating. I try not to use those used spectacle cloth as there may be some dust/oil there which you could drag across the lens.

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Dec 13 2013, 02:05 PM) Yes, bro, as bold part, super annoying, 2 fiber dusts stick inside the super imposed screen and just on top of the 2 focus points, everytime focus sure will see it. I can wait for next day to buy the blower, but due to my own decision, i dismantle myself and wipe using the micro fiber cloth that come with the camera. I'm too naive to expect those cloth provided should be scratch proof and dustless compare to normal fiber cloth.  That was last Friday night, 2 days before my wedding. Yesterday night i just did a final clean up using contact lens cleanser and flush with filtered water, after that blow off the water using rocket blower without wiping. But is too late, i use my handphone camera flash as the light source, direct to the reflex mirror and i observe at the viewfinder, alot of fine scratch in vertical and horizontal direction. Although not really obvious after i put back the lens, but it become an 'imperfection' inside my heart, although it won't affect the photo quality, but i still feel it will. No pain no gain.  Youtube have alot of mirror cleaning video, all video also asking to wear glove and use only rocket blower to blow, look like u didnt follow the instruction haha, I did my without any problem, but my dust stil can be see after I clean it, I suspect its from the inside viewfinder, so I just leave it and HAVE to get used it

I try not to use those used spectacle cloth as there may be some dust/oil there which you could drag across the lens. didn't know that i takut to use my micro fibre cloth anymore after using it for like half year, scare the dusts will gather on it and makes the cleaning worse by introducing more dusts on it. worst case is scratching the coating.
