E2 fluid and swabs for D3?

[RobMitchell]

Anyone know of a stockist of E2 fluid and swabs suitable for the D3?

This is the first camera I've ever had that needs mechanical cleaning, the D2X has always been kept clean with a blower. The D3 however.. it's a dust magnet for some reason. Not just that, some particles on the sensor are greasy..

Travelling to have the sensor cleaned is costing too much time, i've wasted enough of that recently with cleaning, and i'm not goingto drive there ever time I get a dirty sensor. This time it's a spot right in the face zone, so needs to be removed urgently.

So.... I'm going to start cleaning our D3's myself.

Was an emergency and our friends in Mariakerke had the stuff in stock.

Mission complete. The D3 seems to really suffer from greasy dust and this was a really nasty piece

2 swabs and a bulb blower.. it's better now than it was new.

Eclipse Sensor Swabs + E2 fluid.

Not cheap at all, but saves me trips back and forth to get it cleaned in the future.

Does this D3 have a self cleaning function?
Otherwise i can use my E2+pads on my d300 too...

No self cleaning on the D3, there would be no way it would shake off the greasy dust either

You'll need #2 size swabs for the D300
