Jono, Those spots- do you think they can be removed successfully by a sensor clean? Normally this will be a redundant question but has become important as we are dealing with $7500 camera.

Yes Vivek very easily - I was just being lazy. I don't usually shoot at such small aperture, so they don't show up - probably a blower brush would get rid of most of them. These two shots were at f11 and quite heavily processed.

Hi Jono,

Please do us all a favor (in light of the sensor cover plate issue) and show us pictures with a cleaned sensor (or better add to the articles in the front page)

Sorry about the distraction. :eek:

HI Vivek
the cover glass on this is the same as the M240 - I clean my sensors periodically (and successfully) in this case I've not cleaned the monochrom sensor yet, but there simply will not be a problem cleaning it. (It will have to wait until the weekend however, as I have no sensor swabs here and the nearest dealer is 200 miles away!).

As for why it's dirty? I live in a 400 year old and very dusty house - and I'm lazy about lens changes, so my sensors always get dirty.

Not an issue.
