Leaving sensor cleaning to the professionals is all very well if you are prepared to pay the price, be without your camera for a month, risk the shipping process.
I used to pay ACS in Norfolk £20? to do the D1 while I waited. 20 minutes?
My local camera shop are very obliging... But they didn't triumph with the D3 sensor, despite three tries. Nikon got it immaculate first try, with no fuss and no charge.
Sitting on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean isn't the ideal time or place to look for a professional. Sensor cleaning isn't difficult but it does require a steady hand and the right tools.
Plenty time to remove the marks in post processing! LOL
I don't do steady... A mate once observed that my welding is so good because I am so doddery!
I am game for most tasks, I removed and re fitted a D1X sensor to convert it to UV, and it worked OK, but I am happy to hold up my hand and admit I steer clear of sensor cleaning.
