Re: shop who can clean an EX-1?

Thanks for the suggestion. With a powerful shop-vac I tried suction on:

- the lens, camera off: no dice

- battery door and extended flash: no dice

- camera on, wide angle: no dice

- camera on, racking zoom from wide to tele and back: DICE !  Giant blotches are gone.

I guess that extra movement caused just the right turbulence to direct a microburst to the dust spec. There are still couple of tiny dust specs in there but only visible in extreme conditions.  Optics are now 50X better and this little EX-1 is useful again.

This nonsurgical technique has made me a believer in alternative camera medicine.

Gracias Amigo!
