Eclipse cleaning fluid
Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2004 12:42 amEclipse fluid bottle, packaging and pec pads. (56k warning)
Look here for the results.
Images thumbed, click on each for the full size (3008x2000).
I used the copperhill/Thom Hogan method. Pec pads once used to clean CCD on the D70 was recycled for cleaning my laptop display. 2 birds with 1 stone.
(aka. I'm a tightarse)
Conclusion: it works. Pure and simple. It might take you a few times on your first run as it did me, but a spotless filter is not impossible.
Edit: The before and after shots unintentionally showed how even illumination is achieved with the SB800 on hotshoe, and how harsh and directional the built-in flash was. But this is a review of the eclipse, so let's ignore that.
