Shortly after I bought a Rocket Blower, I shot the sky and saw a couple of very sharp black spots in a magnified picture. One application of the blower cleaned that up. The next time there was a need, it was because one LUG member commented that my picture of three palms had a couple of bad spots in the sky. These spots were not sharp; they were of a noticeable diameter and fuzzy. I used the blower. They were still there. I used the blower a second time. One went away and the other appeared to be fainter--maybe wishful thinking. I blowed the HELL out of it a third time, thinking with faint heart that I might have to order liquid and swab and do the scary procedure--or should I have it done professionally? I lucked out. Blowing the hell out of it got rid of that last bit of fluff. Herb >Hello everyone,Dark spots have appeared on my pictures (again) and >the time has come for me to clean my M8 sensor.
