It had to happen, sooner or later ... I've got sensor dust

Thought it was my new Sigma 10-20 lens, but when I tested another lens, uh-oh, still there.

Gave it a very brief go with blower + brush, but the cheap brush left a bristle behind, + it didn't seem to help anyway, so not keen on that route. A bit scared to use solution, cloth, buds etc. as well.

What are others doing about sensor dust at the mo'? Send it in for cleaning?

Hey, Charlotte! New sigma 10-20?? Have I missed something? Are you holding out on me? When did this bit of kit find it's way into your bag?

To get back on topic, Spxxxx had SD on his camera straight out of the box and had to clean the sensor as described here.

BTW, what do you think about the 10-20?

[Charlotte]

Yes, I've been busy, Graham

Got the Sigma 10-20 just last week It seemed to be throwing itself at me, so had to have one Taken a few shots ... it's gonna take some getting used to this focal length range, but ....... I like it so far

Thanks for the link to Simon's post re: sensor cleaning

I just Photoshop anything out that I see.

Congrats on the new lens

Get round it the easy way "the canon EOS D400 has a built in dust sensor remover"
Come to think of it buy 2 and donate one to me for giving you this great tip

LOL Jack, it's not on my gear list 'cos I was going to do a "guess the lens" thread but now the cat's out of the bag, it'd take the fun out of guessing

Thanks P-E

I might not have bothered about it either, but it's all over the show ... really weird, 'cos there was none that I noticed until I processed the 1st shots from the Sigma, but now I know it's there, it's all I can see when I look at my images on screen

[P-E]

Is it really bad then?

Funny enough I just did a shot of the sky this afternoon @f32 to see how dirty my sensor was.
