How to clean dust from Low-Pass Filter? On Nikon D70
Hi,
Sorry if this is a off-topic question but I don't follow this group much. My problem is dust on the Low-Pass filter, and I don't know how to get rid of it without going to Nikon service. I have tried to blow the dust with the rubber bulb from a blower brush and I did everything that I have read in the magic lantern guides book, but nothing from the things they said helped me much My question is how to get rid of this problem and will I have to clean this often? Thanks for help, Tom |

I just bought one of the kits with the Pecpads and the modified swab (cut
down Rubbermaid spatula). I haven't had any problems yet, but this seems to be the preferred method, and I just wanted to be ready. Looks like it should work. Got mine at Fargo Enterprises off the Net. Very fast shipping. Good price. If you don't like the instructions that came with the kit, there are instructions all over the Net on how to use these kits. Just make sure you get the right size swab. I think the recommended size for the D70 is 14mm, and you would have to make two passes to cover the entire filter. My understanding is if used correctly you can do a better job than Nikon, but there is always some risk when you stick anything down into your camera. "nrOne" wrote in message ...
