My Arctic Butterfly brush died very young (terminal lack of spinnitis). High tech fibre bristles attached to a cheap plastic handle with battery innards like a disposable toy (for spinning the bristles prior to use for static purposes). I replaced it with the Brush Off which is from the same people that make the Eclipse fluid and swabs. You need this stuff for your M9 anyway of course. I guess the same swabs for your P45+ ? Unless they have some specific recommendations for cleaning their products? BHPhoto were far cheaper than direct last time I bought. There are transport restrictions on the Eclipse fluid to consider. The Photosol site has good info (and videos) as well as the product listings. http://www.photosol.com/store/pc/home.asp Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 26 April 2012 08:52, Bob Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> wrote: > $1,200 to replace a scratched sensor filter.
