[Leica] Nathan's PAD 24/11/2019: sensor cleaning

[Philippe]

In our Panasonic and Oly days, we never had to have the sensor cleaned, DK why.

Now the nikon wanted it badly in the end.

And I’ve had the fujis’ sensors cleaned when we came back from a safari in Africa in March. And I know why :-)

Seems to have worked on your pana. Yet, f8 may be the limit where you actually begin to see those big blobs. I’d have another try at f 16 or 22 against just a plain vanilla screen or a uniform sky, just to make sure.

> My newly acquired cycling camera, the miniature Panasonic GM5, has suffered from a dirty sensor from the beginning. I tried to clean it myself but my efforts came to nothing, so I bit the bullet and sent it to Carmencita in Valencia to have it done professionally. I was aware that it might be an inherent problem with the sensor rather than just dirt but I was prepared to take the chance. The camera came back last week, with two pictures on the card taken by the lab, both at f22, showing clearly the “before and after”. I went on to test the camera using my standard test protocol, i.e. just go out and take some pictures with lots of sky in them. Here are the results:
