How much did they charge you, if I can ask?

[Andy Perrin]

They actually took off 10% without my asking them to, and charged $66 (before the refund, so hopefully the eventual total will be $0). I suspect the guy knew I wasn't going to be happy...

 

I mean, they were not jerks, but they did not do a good job either.

Wow $66.

Turn your shower on to decrease the in air particles in your bathroom. Wait for the humidity to come down.

Then open up the camera and use a q-tip (genuine) with 99.9% IPA (electronic grade). Just damp not dripping. Wipe in one direction. Don't pool at the end.

That should help.

I'm going to need more than one IPA to get through this, David! (joke)

 

But seriously, I have to buy some alcohol now, I guess.

I've sort of given up the fight. None of the methods I've tried get the sensor clean enough for macro work, although general photography is OK. There's probably something wrong in my technique (or more likely with my patience). So I rely on Zerene stacker's new dust removal utility to get acceptable macro images.
