Doesnt help in the least. I've been super fastidious in the past, it hasn't made much difference. And even if it did, due to issues with my hips, dusting and Vaccuming is a rare and calculated...

Okay, so I've had my Sony a57 for about 2 weeks now and I normally shoot atFor some stupid reason, I have been swapping lenses with the body turned on its back, leaving the sensor up and open. I...
