This is necessary to protect the actual sensors, and as a filter. Why they are difficult to clean is because cleaning was not taken into consideration when the cameras were designed, and the glass is quite thin and fragile. I think you will see cameras with easily cleanable sensor glass quite soon, as this seems to be a problem that the manufacturers know about. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
