Cheers did that, great bloke, great service...... also hired a 80-200 2.8 from L&P in kent town. cant wait for the zoo trip tomorow.

Thanks for your help guys....

So being in the country with no photograpic pros in town what supplies do i need to clean my own sensor??

Glad that worked out well!

To keep your sensor clean, you need a Rocket Blower, some Pec-Pads and some pure methanol (otherwise known as Eclipse fluid).

Mostly, the blower will keep the sensor crap-free, wet cleans should only be needed very occasionally. I'm not sure where to get all the above at the moment, but hang around for a while and you'll find out!

Have fun at the Zoo!

fozzie, I gather that you have nothing to do with that site?

First try the Rocket Blower, if it fails, then use the wet method.

I made my own swab and then use a pec*pad + eclipse (methanol), works great for me.
