It is only free blow job using arctic butterfly, or whatever it is. It is not worth it in my opinion, because it is not wet clean. I will wait for next visit to ISS

It's a combination of artic butterfly and then a wet clean.

They do it for me about one a month

I was speaking to them today before this thread came up.

Its a full clean of the sensor, the idea behind it is that they show you how its done and then if you want you can buy the kit and do it yourself in the future.

I think they do most makes mines a Sony and they can do that.

Any idea how much the kit costs? Might try to get in if its not too expensive!

Great spot cheers for posting.. Nice €50 saving. Have been out at DML once before, great selection of studio gear..

Just back from DML and had my sensor looked at. It actually didn't need cleaning when it was examined under the loupe. The chap gave it a quick blow and it's fine. He showed me how to use the kit and it looks fairly painless. It's not particularly cheap but well worth it if you were a pro.

Nice bunch of lads and a lovely selection of kit - lighting, camera etc - all aimed at the pro market. They also run regular seminar/workshops on studio lighting so worth getting on their mailing list.

They did give me an invitation to the ProFoto show in the Green Isle Hotel on 9th & 10th of Feb between 10am - 5pm.

They also have a facebook page for any of you who are interested.

How much?

Swabs and liquid only probably cost you approx 60euro.
But you can purchase Loupe (which is a magnifying ligt to inspect sensor) and artic Butterfly brush. Full kit could cost you 250 euro.
But the guys will clean your sensor if it is required and that includes wet clean for free.

I think the guy said the full kit works out at €195
