Thanks for that link. I hadn't heard Photosol's announcement
exonerating Eclipse from tin oxide damage. Good. I'll feel even easier
next time I have get the Eclipse out to clean the 5D.
If it makes you breathe easier I had to use the the pen gizmo a couple
of times to learn that it works. I discovered that I hadn't been
pressing hard enough. When I did it got the specs that were only
visible at f/16-22 and didn't damage the sensor. But I still use the
brush first as it's very gentle and gets most of it... at least down to
f/11.
