Hi,

Does any one know which shop provide reliable & effective sensor cleaning service? I need to send my Canon 5D Mark II for cleaning, as at f/11 I can see obvious dark spots on my photos -- many of them!!! Blower don't really help me much as it basically blowing the smudges from one spot to another. I tried Canon customer service a couple of times before, but the results were not very satisfactory; first time I ended up getting a replacement unit, second time it was a free service so cannot complaint...

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

at the end of the day,most of us would still advice u to go to ur brand's customer service.y?
what r u doing to do if ur sensor is scratched while cleaning?

or u can learn to clean urself.

btw,free service or not,if they never do a clean job,tell them to do it again.

I bought this sensor cleaning set from Cathay Photo in Peninsula. Comes with 4 swabs and an alcohol vial. I used it on my D3S and D300. Very effective for me. But quite pricey.
The swabs come in crop frame and full frame sizes.

I tried DIY with sensor swab before, I just couldn't do it right and wasted $$$, like you said, pricey... Thus I hope I can pay someone who are good at it, and I don't mind paying the premium. Anyway, like ssy77 said, I probably should just go back to Canon again.
