Double it over and it makes a replacement spatula tip cover for cleaning the sensor. These do not scratch the sensor unless you put grit onto the mix!

Having watched the Nikon technicians at work I noted that they don't use wide wiping spatulas when they clean sensors. The use round sticks, like blunt ****tail sticks about six inches long, they wrap a small strip of lens cleaning tissue around the end of the stick and dip the tissue tip in one of two or three dishes of solution, different solutions for different types of mark. They then address an individual mark or dust bunny on the sensor using an illuminated lupe to see what they are doing. A gentle blast of compressed air and on to the next mark. They did not appear to wipe an entire sensor on any of the cameras I watched two technicians cleaning. Indeed they didn't appear to have any of the spatular type cleaning wipes in their kit. I must have watched them clean perhaps 20 cameras and lenses that morning? They were very thorough, my D300S was immaculate after they had cleaned it.

That process they have is more time consuming but much more targetted on the dust marks that will be visible to the photographer. This process needs a clean area with no/low dust in the air. The spatula method provides a general clean but may not remove all the dust unless you clean multiple times. I clean with the spatula tool but use a used one for the primary clean then I do a secondary clean with a new one. This usually results in a super clean sensor.

Wise move methinks. Good luck with the replacement. D750, or D850?

Should be a lot of good D750 around or even D800/810 if you dont want to splash for a D850.

Go for it if you want the MP. There is little difference betwen D800 and D810. I think the D810 has highlight metering mode extra.

Will need to get bigger memory cards, but my mac should cope with it and I can upgrade the RAM if needed. I use a pair of external drives for my library anyway and just keep the current year on the machine itself.
