Subject: [Leica] cleaning the ccd?

Hi

 Think the problem with the air cans is that they just send the dust to side
and don't remove it...

Probably it will end again in the ccd

I am also paranoid about touching my sensor. But this weekend, I had an 
opportunity to try this system:
http://www.delkin.com/products/sensorscope/
I did not use the liquid, just examined the sensor with the special 
loupe and used the vacuum cleaner to get the dust off. This thing is 
powerful, well made, and, most importantly, it worked great. I could not 
find a Dutch store selling it, so I just ordered it from B&H. With the 
dollar at current levels, even paying shipping and Dutch VAT on arrival 
will probably be cheaper than what a local shop would have charged.
