This kit from Micro Tools is well thought out and comprehensive with enough materials to keep a casual shooter well stocked for a long time.
I recently discovered dirt on my D200's sensor filter while shooting at Crater Lake. After successfully blowing most of it off with a new foot pump, one last dust-off for good measure left me with a much worse situation. My aim was poor and I believe I blew lube from the mirror assembly onto the filter. In the next test shot the dirt was visible on the cameras LCD (no need for Photoshop Auto-Levels) and clearly visible on the filter with the naked eye. Ouch.
Fortunately, I had ordered this kit the day before and it arrived the day after my misadventure with the foot pump. I followed the detailed instructions and with one series of swipes I was able to safely remove 99+% of the dirt! The 2 remaining particles are barely visible at F22 so unlikely to be visible in normal shooting. As simple as this process was I could likely have had a completely clean sensor filter with one more pass and a clean PecPad, but after my fiasco with the foot pump I thought, "Leave well enough alone!"
This is a simple process that anyone capable of handling a D-SLR and not drop a lens should be able to handle.
Thank you Micro Tools!

I must admit that cleaning my sensor was a nerve racking thought! However, I just read the easy to follow instructions and successfully cleaned my sensor. I now have dust free images again! Thanks
 Nice product September 9, 2008

Overall, a very good product and well priced. Probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to have included some lint free gloves at a higher price. I was a bit surprised to find that you have to construct your own sensor cleaning wands, although there is a pre-constructed one to use as an example.
Not very good presentation August 14, 2008

I expected this product to come in a box so I can at least store it after I use it. Came in just a plastic bag (inside the brown shipping box), kind of disapointing. Other that that I still have to try it so I can talk about how it works.
Gotta Have This.... August 7, 2008

When I first bought my Rebel XT, I never thought this could happen to me but it DID! Somehow I got something on my sensor and it smeared. I wanted the dust spots gone. I was terrified. I just knew that my sensor was history and that my camera had just become a very expensive paper weight. I went ahead and bought this kit and used it. WOW!!!! The first pass with the wand and cleaner and the smear was almost undetectable. I used several pec pads to make sure that all of WHATEVER that was, was gone for good. I went outside and took a few photos of the sky at f22 and loaded them on my computer and it was clean. The smear and dust spots were gone. My heart finally started beating again. I wish I had bought this kit sooner becasue my camera was out of commission too long. I was starting to have withdrawls. I would set it on my desk and stare at it longingly....
Buy this kit and keep it handy. But as you have read, DO NOT clean your sensor unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. There are better uses for your camera other than a paper weight. Use the rocket blower, it works great and puts out a powerful stream of air.
I thank Curt at Micro-Tools for a great product and fast service. Oh, and thanks for the candy, it is a nice touch. Thomas Gentry, Texas.
