LOL, ummm, I think probably, no certainly, you should never have to clean the filter in a DSLR (how would you suggest thay get filthy enough to need cleaning, he,
, well, unless you "totally dismantle" it and cover it in fingerprints
).I removed the standard filter in a 40D and promptly broke it (like you, not that I cared). So the point?, dont clean?, or dont mod?, or do both cause the filters are tough in yr hands?
