Getting a sensor cleaned

    Hello people,

    I’m travelling at the moment and have some annoying spots on my camera from a dirty sensor. I got a sensor cleaning kit but the blower didn’t make a difference. There’s liquid and cotton buds but really I’d prefer to pay someone to clean it properly than go messing with it myself.
    Does anyone know anywhere in Cork (or near Cork) that would clean a Sony A6500 sensor? I know there’s a place in grafton street but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get there.
    Thanks!

    I just checked out this forum to look for a similar answer but Dublin based.
    I got a A5000 with annoying sensor spots and a cracked screen.

    I know of a good guy in Rathmines whose details I can pass to you, if the location is handy for you.

    For anyone looking in future neither of these places do sensor cleaning! I got it done in Conn's.

    I've used this place before and would have no hesitation recommending. Also much more reasonable than other places.

    Why pay a shop to do something that is so easy to do yourself?
