Light The Blue Touch Paper And Retire


In the dear old days of film photography we used this fine product to do many things:

Cleaning dust from the inside of mirror boxes and rangefinder housings.
Cleaning dust from negatives on the holder in the enlarger.
Preliminary dust blasting for the outside of bodies and lenses.
Making soap bubbles in product shots.
Annoying other darkroom workers.

Now we are in the digital age and the uses become a little more vague. We can only think of a few.

External  dusting of cameras.
Dusting off the glass plates of flat-bed scanners.
Annoying other computer room workers.

Our technician recoils in horror at the idea of anyone blasting one of these air/propellant bombs at the surface of a digital sensor - and rightly so. The amount of gudgey damage and contamination you could do would be tremendous. Urrrg. Aaack.

So we would be delighted if our readers of the blog or the Facebook page would write in and tell us what we can do with our Dust-Off.

Go on. You know you want to.
