Hi Scott,

I've had my M8 exactly 6 months now. I've taken over 6500 exposures  
and change lenses very often. For some reason the M8 seems to draw  
dirt more quickly then my Nikon or Canon slr bodies but so far a  
quick shot from my Giotto bulb cleans just fine. Most of my photos  
are outdoors and a high percentage have clear sky so dirt is very  
noticeable. I also clean in PS but find that my scans from film  
require more cleaning then digital. I blow out the M8 about once a  
week if it needs it or not. If I shoot a lot and am changing lenses  
often I might clean a couple times a day.

Len
