Subject: [Leica] M8 Sensor Cleaning

This sensor cleaning thing is obviously a problem I haven't encountered yet!
And touching wood I trust never to encounter.

It never occurred to me that stuff on the sensor happens simply because I've
never seen it since I started playing with digital cameras, Canon, of
several models, and Leica M8.

Maybe it's because I don't look for trouble I've been lucky, by the same
token I have never seen anything in prints indicating "stuff on the sensor"
when making 12X18 blow-ups. Nor as Power point screened images with a
digital projector.

I suppose I have to ask, is it possible my innocents of such problems has
been just dumb ass luck I've not encountered it? Or that I should look
harder on the computer screen at 300% blow-up for the critter dust?
Certainly when I haven't seen it with the naked eye?

And trust me I don't pamper my gear nor abuse it, but I do use it, not like
I'm carrying a new born. They get slung on shoulder or neck and into photo
battle changing lenses on the go wherever I maybe no differently than
shooting film cameras.

Any suggestions?
