Review on πŸ“· Ultimate UES Sensor Cleaning Kit: 14 X 24mm Swabs + 15ml Sensor Cleaner for Full-Frame Digital Cameras by Shahed Cleveland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

He did his job well, but it takes some getting used to.

At first I was afraid to use the solution that came with the kit after reading the reviews. But the dust properties on my sensor are very persistent. I ended up using half the swaps because a very tricky spot was a bug. After the third try I had to stop. Although I fear it will be too difficult to repeat the whole process over and over again, I did it anyway. And now my die is very clean except for one spot that can easily be touched up with Photoshop. The spatula fits my Canon EOS 5D MK II's full-frame sensor very snugly, although as some of the reviewers have said, there's not much room. Top and bottom of the sensor that the wing can't reach - and annoyingly, that's where some of my dust particles were. Resist the temptation to go back and forth with a paddle shovel (which I unfortunately did). So if you have the same sticky dust problem as me; and maybe after the third try, when you have 1 speck of dust left, STOP. It's better than going ahead and risking filing my dust stats. The replacement takes a bit of getting used to because we're all so afraid of damaging the sensor. But I gave it my all because those black eyeglass stains spoiled too many of my wonderful photos, especially my perfect sky. So it's either that or risk it. I am happy to report that my risks have paid off and my sensor is CLEAN now! Hooray. Thanks guys from UES. Despite some trial and error, I still give it 5 stars because it's better than paying $60 for a professional cleaning. Hope that helps.
