Maintenance

I'm sending my AF100 in to Panasonic (Canada) to clean dust from the nd filters...wondering if there is anything else worth tending to while "the hood is open".

Why not do the dust cleaning your self.

How bad is it? v(isible to eye, visible on shot? greasy dust)

Blow gently with a can of AIR then gently with a photobrush, more gentle air then check.

I believe the sensor and the rotating NDs are behind a "clear filter" ...so you only have to clean that. (Some one should correct me if I am wrong please)

I have the same problem on ND 3 .I take close up ''enema" to gourd glass and blow air....And dust removed.

The dust is on the inside of the filter wheel, so there is some "surgery" required to open the camera up...I'm leery of doing that.

Maybe you can upgrade to the Af100 a while there have the hood up.
Maybe do an oil change too =)
