Specialist cleaner and swabs arrived today - took 4 more washes to shift the specks on the D850 - there may be a few tiny ones left around the edges but I am quitting while I am ahead!
Amazingly, the D810 that I did all the work on had very few dust bunnies - one wash got them gone.
I must say I was a bit concerned because these cameras have no low pass filter over the sensor, so you are working directly on the most sensitive part.....
I think you are wise to stop. You can chase your tail getting edges 100% clean when invariably most peopl crop the images to some extent.
I wonder if the owner of the 810 was just more attentive than the 850 owner?
The sensor itself does have a protective glass surface which is the same resilient material as filter glass …so swabbing should be no less a concern…unless using a Brillo pad (or dry swab)
