Dust on Sensor

I had some dust on the sensor of the 1D2 that wouldn't go away with the
Rocketblower so I thought of getting some dust removal stuff like a
gelstick and an Artic Butterfly. I did find the latter a tad pricey but
found a generic replacement. A proper swipe with the brush a good whirl
did not remove the dust but after a few clunks with the shutter too then
it was gone and I did not need to break out the gelstick. That what I
got was this thingy and it's priced about a third of the "Artic". YMMV,
of course:

A cheaper option would be a good quality nylon artist brush. Using a can
of compressed air, give the brush a blast and you've given it a static
charge to lift the dust off of the sensor.

I go for simple and effective

s/. Not cheap, dangerous if you eat it, but the most effective tool I
have seen in the past 50 years or so.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

Maybe, but you would not be less sure of purity, cleanness and
efficiency of the brush.

Thanks the solution that I tried worked well this time but it's good to
know that there are other suppliers available if it doesn't another time.

100% nylon is what I use. Cleaning the brush is necessary and easy.
Soak the brush in a mild detergent and water solution overnight. Soak
it again in water for another night and then allow to air dry. After it
dries, swipe the brush over a clean clear lens filter. If you see a
film left behind, the brush needs to be cleaned again and hen you repeat
the cleaning process until you see no film left on the lens filter. The
brush I use is 100% nylon and cost me $7.50 US. It was clean after the
first cleaning attempt and I've been using it for years.
