Rant: That $80 digital microscope was a game changer for sensor cleaning
I was tired of sending cameras out for sensor cleaning and paying $50 a pop. I took a chance on a cheap digital microscope from an online store, about $80. It plugs right into my laptop. The first time I used it, I saw stuff on the sensor I never knew was there, tiny fibers and spots my loupe missed. Now I can see exactly what I'm cleaning and check my work before I put the camera back together. It paid for itself in two jobs. Has anyone found a good way to keep the sensor still under that much magnification? My hands are not that steady.
