I seem to recall reading one of you post about a camera shop in LA that did same day cleaning. Am I dreaming or is there one you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

bust out your dust buster and vacum that shit out...

most new dslr's now have automatic ccd cleaning/vibration stuff.
mine does not, so every time my preshoot routing is to take a clear shot of the sky at f9
blow up the shot on the screen and check for specs, if specs go to step 2 which is a handsqueeze airblower, and if that dont work then it is time to use an approved swap with the proper solution (follow instructions).
not as hard as it seems..

I have two. One has spent more time at the beach than the other. It seems like the one that never gets to go to the beach gets clearer pics. Besides, I want to see if they can clean my Sigma lens at the same time. It has been a year, so it won't hurt to have a pro do it.

I would never touch mine, it gets serviced by pros. Even then they do fuck up, specially with phantom electrical probs

The guy I usually deal with there is Richard Cermak... he knows what he's doing and seems very honest regarding work that needs/doesn't need to be done.

Even I buy at Sammys, bought stuff from them in the past and they sent it to France by FedEx. Very nice people.
