Hi Marty,
Well old buddy I'm glad you have it on your side of planet. If I had to open 
and clean an M camera as often as you, I think I'd put one lens on and never 
change it. :-)

Just the thought of brushing around the insides almost gives me the shivers 
thinking about it! :-(

Althouh I guess like many other things, one becomes skilled and it becomes a 
piece of cake. However right now? I think I'll stay here with the water in 
the air. ;-)

cheers,
ted

HI Ted,

Adelaide is on the edge of a desert.  The atmospheric humidity is
always low and often it is very low (under 20% RH).  It's just a very
dusty place.  If I'm outside anywhere, there is dust.

Though my worstM8 sensor cleaning  experience was in Namibia:

I can see the kind of dust I am trying to clean in an A4/8x10 size
print, particularly on clear skies.

Glad to see you back,

Marty
