To remove stubborn dust you could use some pec pads and eclipse fluid or go the whole way by using the copper hill DSLR cleaning kit
http://www.copperhillimages.com/index.php?pr=tutorials These guys stock the kit, not sure if you can get it in shops in Adelaide though http://www.qualitycamera.com.au/index.php?cPath=33 Personally I've only had dust visible shooting a clear sky at f16 and above so I've haven't had to resort to wet cleaning methods...yet
Warren - I would recommend that you purchase the following item for wet cleaning on-line:
http://www.qualitycamera.com.au/product ... ts_id=1351 Delivery normally 2-3 days. Wet cleaning needs to be done in a room with no windows open or air conditioning running. What time do you expect to be in Adelaide prior to the meet? (As I may be able to clean your CCD prior to the meet). Thread for time and place following: http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php? ... c&start=60 fozzie
When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.
we will be in Adelaide all day Fozzie
Have a meeting @ 10am after that just buying some chefs cloths is all I wont be able to get one online delivered here by then are they available in town in one of the camera shops ???? That would be great if u could mate much appreciated warren Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens
Warren - they are not available in retail stores.
Seeing that you are going to be in Town prior to the meet, is your camera still under warranty, as you are entitled to one free clean from the Nikon agent: Adelaide Technical Camera Service Level 1 - Unit 2 163 Halifax Street Adelaide Contact: Mr. Hajime Niijima Tel: 82240321 fozzie
Why not get the cleaning kit (hopefully still in time) and attend the meet. Then let someone show you how to clean it?
Its certainly not for the faint hearted for the first time. But if somebody shows you how to do it, you will learn much quicker and get more confident in doing it.

i have ordered the kit & it will be here by express courier tomorrow warren Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens
Thanks for that info Fozzie i have rang Hajime & he conferms 1 free clean under warranty so i will take in my receipt from diamonds & get it done while i'm at my meeting
i still have the kit comming so would be good to be shown how to do it for (hopefully never) the next time

Warren - make sure that your battery is fully charged before going to Adelaide Technical Camera Service to have the CCD sensor cleaned. Also bring along the camera manual, so I can read the procedure to expose the CCD sensor for cleaning of your D50.

Notg a problem fozzie
i always carry the manual in my camera bag + 2 spare batteries warren P.S By the way what time is everyone getting there ??? Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens

Warren - I will bring my cleaning kit, and we will see if we can find a suitable place to clean, if only in your 4WD. Not ideal, but you never know.
