[Leica] M8 Sensor Cleaning

[nathan at nathanfoto.com (Nathan Wajsman)]

I don't think it makes sense to be so worried that you restrict yourself 
to change lenses at home. The equipment is there to be used, and the 
whole point of an SLR is to be able to change lenses.
I have a couple of suggestions:

1) Sensor Scope: a cleaning system that got rid of some stubborn dirt 
that had been on my Canon sensor since I bought my 1D2 (second-hand) in 
2005; or
2) Get one of the Olympus DSLRs with their ultrasonic dust removal 
system--it seems to work very well. My experience with it is limited, 
since I have only had the E410 for a couple of weeks, but FWIW, I have 
not had any dust on the sensor yet.

Oh, and be sure to turn off the camera when changing lenses. If the 
sensor is charged, the static electricity is likely to attract dust when 
you take the lens off.
