Introducing Dust-Aid™
Sooner or later, almost every digital slr camera owner confronts the problem of dust particles on the image sensor. Today there is a bewildering variety of sensor cleaning products to choose from. At last, Just is proud to introduce a revolutionary new product that is safe and easy to use. Invented by Professional Photographer Ross Wordhouse, Dust-Aid™ is designed to make the lives of every DSLR owner, a whole lot easier. Dust-Aid™ is:
Many photographers use rubber bulb blowers to clean their sensors, while this is a quick and often effective technique, it wont remove all the dust from the camera, while occasionally a blower can actually blow more dust onto the sensor. Of course, dust that remains inside the camera body can easily re-contaminate the sensor, regardless of lens changing activities. The great feature of Dust-Aid™ is that it gently lifts the contamination off the sensor and out of the camera. And, unlike many swab and brush based products, nothing is rubbed along the sensor surface, eliminating the risk of scratching. There are no liquids to buy and no brushes to clean. Dust-Aid™ wont cause problems with airline security either. Considerable research went into the adhesive properties of Dust-Aid™ and it has been independently scientifically tested to ensure that it leaves no residue on the sensor surface. Finally, its small form factor makes it easy to fit inside the smallest of gadget bags, which means that now there's no excuse for a dirty sensor wherever you are! CompatibilityClick here to check that Dust-Aid can be used safely on your camera Dust-Aid is compatible with single or multi-layer optical coated filters that meet the minimum durability standards outlined in MIL-C-48497A and ISO 9211-4. These two durability tests have become the accepted standard for testing coating quality in the interference coating industry. Important Note re:Canon Cameras - serial numbers 0420100000 to 0430207000Note: Dust-Aid's tests show the Dichroic mirror coatings on Canon's factory standard low pass filters meet MIL-C-48497A and ISO 9211-4:2006 coating standards and are not compromised when a sensor cleaning method is used. However, the sensor cleaning industry is seeing a small number of Dichroic coatings that do not meet this standard and therefore fail, causing de-coating of the sensor filter. So far Dust-Aid has seen a few of these below standard coated filters. If you discover that you have a below standard coated filter from Canon, which Dust-Aid has de-coated, we will replace the filter for you. We have seen a grouping of affected Canon camera's and wanted to share our findings with you. The grouping of below standard filters that we have seen is between the serial numbers 0420100000 to 0430207000. If you have a Canon within this range of numbers please refrain from using Dust-Aid at this time. We are currently working on a solution for cleaning these affected camera's using Dust-Aid. Once it has been fully tested, we will announce the new product here. Go to the Dust-Aid site for more information Product Update - Available Now! - Click to Purchase
