is it not a no-no to use compressed air on a sensor? I was always told that the compressed air can induce a static burst inside the sensor as the air moves over the surface of the glass cover, and that static burst can damage the pixels, which is why people use those blower bulbs. Can anyone confirm that?Truth be told, I have some test shots I am too embarrassed to show -- they were taken specifically to see how the ZD sans cut filter responded to IR and have less than zero artisitic appeal. Suffice it to say, I am not in a hurry to do more IR with the ZD until I have an appropriate subject for it: It took me 45 minutes, three attempts and 9 swabs to clean off the naked sensor front, filter rear and filter front, just to get it back to the point where I had no dust bunnies... And no, the canned air would NOT blow them off, they needed the Eclipse and swabs. Like hanging freaking flypaper when you have to keep two surfaces clean before you assemble them to clean the third... FTR I *HATE* dirty sensors.
Not if you are looking at them side by side. But if you aren't, and heck even if you are, the ZD really does a great job standing on it's own. Remember also please, this is my first shots from the ZD, so I am sure my work up will get a lot better after I play more with these files. First time shooting the body also, so there again improvements are bound to come after a few thousand frames. The Leaf backs, I have been shooting for five years so I better know what they can do by now :thumbup:Not too tough to see which is which in this comparison...
Maybe it's a photographer who bought a second MF systemC1 has a B&W high contrast setting. Pretty interesting. Don't ask still trying to figure out why the scare crow is hanging on the wall
