Dust-Sticking Bar
● £35 ● http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk
Eyelead’s Sensor Dust-Sticking Bar (SCK-1) is one of
the most effective accessories we’ve used to remove
dust safely from a camera’s sensor. The gel on the
sticking bar is formulated to capture dust without
damaging the sensor and leaves no residue behind.
After the dust has been removed, dab the bar on
special cleaning paper, with the higher adhesion of the
paper retaining the dust and enabling the sticking bar
to be reused. It’s important to note that the SCK-1
version should not be used with Sony or Leica sensors;
instead it’s imperative to use the SCK-1S (red) version.Hähnel Universal Flash
