To get the sensor professionaly cleaned or not

iconnect

Hi guys some people on here commented that there was dust on my sensor so i took a blower to the sensor on my 30d
I have attached before and after pic and want your opinion on wether i should still get it professionaly cleaned also where to get it cleaned as i will be in town on wednesday
If i do get it cleaned does it take long etc....
Thanks

what aperture did you take both of those at? If it's high (f 32 or anything near it) you're fine. If that amount of dust is appearing in your everyday photos, a cleaning wouldnt do it any harm.

I can 'professionally' clean my 20D and 30D in 20 mins, so err maybe 10 mins. When I say professionally, I mean I'm using the same method as the 'professionals' do. Maybe get it done once, realise you've wasted some money and use that as incentive to buy a copper hill kit for future 'professional' cleaning at home

Hi Rymus they were shot at f22

I wouldnt be worried about it until it gets a bit more dusty then...

Fajitas!

/Agreed

Where would you consider getting it done professionally, out of interest?
