[Leica] Sensor cleaning revisited

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

In my experience
Dirt, dust, grit, hairs
have always been the bane
of photographers,
darkroom technicians,
print finishers
and framers;
on the set
in the camera
on the lenses
in the enlargers
in the projectors
in the contact printers
in the water
on the film
on the print paper
in the ink jet printer
between layers in the dry mount press
and now
on the sensor.

It has never been easier to deal with
than in this digital age.

YMMV
