A little dust or water, or both, flew out the blower tip and scattered on one side of the sensor. It looks quite nasty, and shows up at all apertures. You can see a photo here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geordiepete/6238000710/ I have e-mailed Leica Japan and am waiting for their reply. They replaced my M8 sensor over a year ago when the sensor cracked after cleaning it with a sticky rubber pressing tool bought from Canon. This has made me think I'm not going to do my own sensor cleaning again, a I thought an air-blower would be harmless! Peter
