Photographic Solutions Eclipse Optic Cleaning - Camera Lens and Digital Sensor Cleaner Fluid - Works with All Cameras, Binoculars, and Other Optical Products - Dropper Tip (15ml) - 0.5oz

Aunque sí tardó varios días en llegar, estoy feliz pues por una fracción del precio de una "servicio" en cualquier lado, he logrado librarme del 99% del polvo del sensor de mi cámara!! Hasta parece nueva!!! Claro, usando este líquido junto a los "SmartLifeTime VSGO (CCD / CMOS) Sensor de cámara digital Kit de esponja para limpieza (10 X 24 mm Swab)", y no me deshice del 100%, pues sí tuve que darle como 4 pasadas, y me da pendiente darle más...

I scuffed my sensor by accidentally poking it with the end of my blower while trying to remove dust (irony of ironies). I'd researched sensor cleaner months ago (due to a similar problem that a local photo store ultimately cleaned for free--nice guys:)) and saw some posts about needing a special kind of cleaner (Aeroclipse) that was formulated to gently clean Sony sensors, which apparently have a different coating from standard digital ILCs. But I'm on a budget right now, so decided to roll the dice with this cleaner. I was worried because the price was so low, but I just tried it with AAWipes Microfiber lens/sensor cleaning swabs, and they did a great job. 2-3 drops on one side, swabbed in one direction with two length-wise strokes (the swab is not wide enough to cover the sensor in one swipe), that took care of the scuff but left a little residue. Flipped the swab to the other side (you don't want to reuse the same side because you risk reapplying the dirt you just lifted), applied cleaner again, gave the sensor two swipes from the opposite direction and now it's perfectly clean, can't see a speck of dirt. I tested by setting the aperture as narrow as possible and pointing the camera at the brightest sources of light available, and saw no signs of dirt or smudging. (Will update this review if I detect smudges when the photos are uploaded, but I don't expect to find any.) tl;dr: This cleaner and swab combo worked well for my Sony sensor. Hooray!

It’s been standard for a long time. It’s reliable. I’ve tried a few other things. Lab grade methanol evaporates too quickly, but it’s slightly less likely to leave a streak. This stays a little linger longer on the swab, yet dries clean like almost as well as methanol. You don’t want to rub a dry swab across your sensor in case of hard grit. I’m not sure if they changed the formula a bit from the last batch but it seems like it’s evolved a little. I’m happy with the new bottle.

After over a year of heavy use & no cleaning, the sensors on both my Nikon D600 & D750 were obviously in need of maintenance. I decided to buy the 0.5 oz. Eclipse solution along with the UES FFR24 DSLR SLR Camera Full-Frame Sensor Cleaning Swab (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B0TO8UC/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1) to do the wet cleaning. As suggested from many online tutorials, I placed 2-3 drops of Eclipse on the swab & ran it across the sensor. It did take me about 4-5 attempts on each camera to get the sensors clean & spotless enough to my standards, but the solution worked fine & didn't damage the D600 & D750 sensors. I figured the extra attempts became necessary simply because no sensor maintenance was ever done before. Looking at test images on a 24" monitor after the cleaning, I was satisfied to see that 99% of the spots which used to plague the borders of my pictures were finally gone. The remaining 1% were just a couple of very minor, hard-to-see spots at the very edges of the frame - hardly worth worrying about. I consider the result more than good enough & definitely far better than what the sensors looked like before the cleaning. A larger 2 oz. bottle of Eclipse is also available, but I decided on the smaller 0.5 oz. as it is certainly more than enough to clean my 2 cameras, given that only 2-3 drops are required for a swab. In addition, I read somewhere that once opened, this product attracts moisture quickly and is not ideal to keep in storage for long periods of time, so it then makes sense to buy only the amount you need.

Works very well, no smearing or residue. Recommend.
