Cmos cleaning, or not?
I removed the IR filter from my Canon 5D and is waiting for a replacement UV/IR filter to arrive. The CMOS surface is not perfect as can be seen on the attached image. I don't believe I caused the faults on the surface when I took it apart. I tend to believe the scratches would not be noticeable once the new filter is installed. But just in case they do.
I have researched the subject of cleaning the CMOS on the web at lengths . It seems to me that one need to spend well over $100.00 for a cleaning kit from say, Delkin Devices, or make an attempt yourself. I could, for instance, in my case, practice on the filter I removed using, for example, Methanol. But the most critical part appears to be the medium that is to be in contact with the CMOS surface.
Has anyone been there and done that or made an attempt?
