pretty cool lens cleaning product

[polizzio]

I purchased one of these a couple weeks back at Amazon. Comes in very handy, you squeeze the black rubber bladder and it directs a concentrated medium pressure stream of air to clean lenses or camera sensor. You can directly control the impact of the air stream using distance or vigor squeezing bladder. I had a small speck in my D90 images yesterday, took test shots, changed lenses- no different. Cleaned sensor very carefully this morning using my new rocket....voila, no more aberation! Just passing it on. Should be in every photog's tools imo, clean your delicate lenses with air versus direct contact.

Additional sensor cleaning info I ran across while researching. Great reference info for all DSLR owners.

If the shop I go to did not do it for free......
Good stuff John.
I believe Ed recommended a kit a while back and Max offered some wisdom as well. Now, where is that thread.....
