I found a new method to clean my camera sensor and it is worth to think about it.

All you need is a fluid called "disco film" which is made on a pure water basis to clean the old black records (and which you can buy in some record stores), a little sheet of paper and some quiet hands (this method is definitely NOT for alcoholics and parkinson people!)...

More information here (in german):

Disco film works fine with dry dust and dirt but doesn't remove fat and fingerprints!


Here's my 1D MkII sensor before disco film cleaning:

Holy WOW!!! What difference!

And it's only (different) clouds ... I think a white wall would do better next time.

Christoff Marquardt from Tips from the Top Floor is helping to get Discofilm to the U.S.A., because you can't get it here. It's non flammable, so you can ship it -- they just sell it in such enormous containers that it's silly for one person to buy a whole thing of it for themselves... so on the TfTTF forum people are buying and splitting containers up amongst groups!
