And as stated, it is what the techs at Leica use.

I recently bought what the Leica technicians use, the Eyelead Sensor Cleaner, and it works very efficiently and very well - as does my long time cleaning system, the SensorKlear - on the Fuji X-Pro 1 and the XE-1, which do not have the AA filter, just like the Leica digitals. The Nikon D800E is less of a risk, because it does have a filter on the sensor, and basically, you are cleaning the filter, not the sensor. The Nikon D810 dispenses with the AA filter assembly altogether. I have been cleaning the sensors myself ever since I switched to digital with the Nikon D70, with not a single problem as yet, IMHO, it is a very simple thing to do. http://www.eyelead.eu/fotoreinigung.html https://www.lenspen.com/?cPath=_1&products_id=SK-1-a&tpid=323 Cheers Jayanand On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 8:25 PM, Robert Baron <robertbaron1 at gmail.com> wrote: > This morning I received an email from Leica - I assume because I am on one > of their mailing lists - about sensor cleaning.
