I live in the desert and I've had luck with an air rocket (forced air
through a rubber bladder). But, then again, in a more humid climate, I
resorted to a wipe process...I like the forced air better...hold your
cam lens mount down, open shutter, and blow. Check for dust and repeat
as necessary. Some will say this process forces dust UNDER the sensor,
but then I could win the lottery too.

I think it works great and is easy. If putting a lite-tack sticky pad
on your sensor and pulling it off makes you squeemish then have a
professional do it instead.

My trusty Canon 5D has turned against me!
There's a few spots in each image that I think are dirt on the sensor.
To confirm they are on the sensor I shot way out of focus against a
white background (set at both max and min distance) with two different
lenses. The same spots show up in the same place on the photo.
How should I clean the sensor? Should I do it myself or is this tricky
enough to have it done professionally? Can anyone recommend someplace
around Rochester, NY to do the work?
Thank You,
Tim
