Equipment Cleaning

[wankmn]

Does anyone have any recommendations for digital camera and lens cleaning services?

Thanks in advance!

Dan's Camera really does a great service to cameras. Mine was sent out and I got it back within a week. I bought a 2 cleaning deal and it is worth it. I don't remember how much I paid for it though but I had Spots in my sky pictures and now there are none.

In the coupon book that the club is selling is a coupon for a free checkup from Dan's Camera........ 

Email me at publicrelations@lvphotographyclub.org if you are interested.

I picked up an Arctic Butterfly cleaning kit over the holidays and it works extremely well.  It's a larger up-front cost than a single cleaning, but I've since cleaned 6 bodies with it.  At $60-70 a cleaning, it pays for itself pretty quickly.

Thanks for all the help, everyone!  I wouldn't dare clean my equipment myself - I'm hard enough on it.  I think I have dust on the inside of my lens, which I'm pretty sure requires a professional anyway.  I think I can handle a one week turn around.  I guess I'll stop by Dan's.  My biggest problem is scheduling the time away from my camera, as it seems I will need it for all of the club events that are schedule this Spring!  I guess it will give me an opportunity to play with the Nikon Coolpix I got for Christmas.  I think I've only used it twice so far.

As TJ pointed out, the Club's discount book for $20 would provide a regular cleaning at Dan's. As I recall, they charge considerably more than that if you just walk in. There should be books available at next Thursday's meeting if you're able to make it.

Jeff, I won't be at the meeting next week. Do you still have copies of the coupon books?

I have a few, yes. I'll bring them along.
