2. cleaning fluid
3. an instructional DVD, not sure if this is the same DVD Thom Hogan worte about.

Go get Pec*Pad and Eclipse Fluid for less than hafl that price! why should you bother all those crappy DVD! If you have some loose change to burn , then it's not an object!

birddog, no offense taken! :)
its just that nulabs is in braeside thats, 35-45min drive one-way, just want to find a store that is closer, collingwood would be 15min, I'm just a lazy bastard! :D

i dont live close to nulab like kipper.

I did a search for camera clinic, only 1 result was found, not related to this topic.

delivery would cost $20 xtra. driving is cheaper but time consuming.

My understanding is that NuLab don't have any sensor swabs in stock at the moment anyway.

Although I believe that they have reduced their price for them by about about 50%, so now it's almost reasonable to buy from them.

How much do you value your time? If you cost your time at $60/hour, that's just 20 minutes.

Plus petrol, wear and tear, and depreciation on the car ...

Remember too that while you're driving, you're also at risk of a motor accident.

Still think driving is cheaper? :)

I don't know what are in the pack? can't say but the DVD is crappy! don't need that!
As said before: $18.00 for Pec*Pad + $25.00 for Eclipse + free stupa and you're in the game, even you pay freight $20.00, it's still cheaper than $99.00 :wink:
The loose change, go get a decent bottle of red, hire a latest DVD movie and enjoy!!!! Make yourself comfy. :wink:

i wanted to try Camera Clinics because i havent heard of any other ppl experience with other brands

and it seems like its more technique of CCD cleaning that really matters. who knows, the liquid and swabs could come from the same manufacturer but rebadge...happens all time :)

If you want technique, go to Copperhill. Read everything there and read again. From what I've seen the information there is invaluable.
