If I had to open and clean an M camera as often as you, I think I'd put one lens on and never change it. :-) Just the thought of brushing around the insides almost gives me the shivers thinking about it! :-( Althouh I guess like many other things, one becomes skilled and it becomes a piece of cake. However right now? I think I'll stay here with the water in the air. ;-) cheers, ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marty Deveney" <benedenia at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 2:31 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] S2 Awesomeness MARTY??? HI Ted, Adelaide is on the edge of a desert. The atmospheric humidity is always low and often it is very low (under 20% RH). It's just a very dusty place. If I'm outside anywhere, there is dust. Though my worstM8 sensor cleaning experience was in Namibia: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/Africa+2009/Namibia/ I can see the kind of dust I am trying to clean in an A4/8x10 size print, particularly on clear skies. Glad to see you back, Marty On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 11:21 PM, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > > Marty Deveney offered: > Subject: Re: [Leica] S2 Awesomeness > > > Ted, you must live in a place with clean air.
