Wet technique a7rII sensor cleaning


Recommended Posts

Anyone tried using 'Aero-Clipse' solution along with Sensorswab Ultra 24mm swabs to clean their sensor?  Neither Ball photo techs nor myself could successfully clean the a7rII sensor without leaving streaks!  Ball said the problem was the solution, they usually use the regular of flammable 'Eclipse', not the non-flammable 'Aero-Clipse.

 

To get rid of the streaks, I spoke to Lenspen who recommended their FilterKlearII flat lenspen using their normal circular pattern technique along with breathing on the sensor.  Worked like a charm.  Just got to make sure and do an in body sensor cleaning after which you leave the camera 'on'. This stablizes the sensor rather than leaving it loose.

 

If you've successfully cleaned the sensor without streaks, what did you use and how did you do it?

I use Sensor swab ultra type 3 + aeroclipse as well.

It does leave some residual streaks like you said.

 

What I do is use another swab to dry clean one more time.

This remove the streak completely. 

 

BTW I am not a fan of sensor swab, the swab is not wide enough to cover the whole sensor (not very much probably 1-1.5 mm too narrow)

That left the very edge of the sensor unreachable. 

I switched to VSGO sensor swab. the size is perfect.
