Swabs Medium Format Visible Dust 30–33 mm – cleaning swabs for medium-format camera sensors and optics

Visible Dust Medium Format Swabs (30–33 mm) are single-use cleaning swabs specifically shaped for safe removal of dust, lint and small particles from medium-format camera sensors and large optical surfaces. Each swab features a lint-free, low-shedding head sized to cover sensor areas between 30 and 33 mm, allowing even contact across the surface for both dry and wet cleaning techniques. These swabs are intended for one-time use to avoid recontamination and to maintain image quality when shooting with medium-format cameras or large-format optics.

Advantages

The swabs provide a precisely sized cleaning surface that minimizes edge contact and reduces the risk of smearing or scratching delicate sensor coatings. The low-lint material ensures particles are lifted rather than dispersed, and the single-use design eliminates cross-contamination between cleaning sessions. Compatibility with commonly used cleaning solutions allows controlled wet cleaning while preserving sensor integrity.

Подходит для

• Удаление пыли и мелких частиц с сенсоров среднеформатных камер (30–33 мм)
• Чистка крупных оптических элементов и задних лепестков объективов
• Точечная влажная или сухая обработка чувствительных покрытий

Key specifications

• Swab head width: sized to cover 30–33 mm sensor areas
• Material: low-lint, low-shedding cleaning fiber
• Single-use design to prevent cross-contamination
• Compatible with wet cleaning solutions and dry dust removal methods
• Intended for medium-format sensors and large optical surfaces

How to use

Inspect the sensor or optical surface with a loupe or sensor inspection tool under good lighting to locate dust and particles. For dry cleaning, gently sweep the swab across the surface in a single pass, using light, even pressure to avoid streaking. For wet cleaning, apply a few drops of an appropriate sensor-safe cleaning solution to the swab head, then make one or two controlled passes until the area is clean. Always use a fresh swab for each cleaning session and allow any residual solution to evaporate fully before reassembling the camera or powering it on.

Usage recommendations

Use these swabs in a clean, dust-minimized environment and handle them only by the shaft to keep the cleaning head free of contaminants. Avoid excessive pressure and repetitive scrubbing; if contaminants persist after one wet swab, consider professional sensor service to prevent damage to coatings or delicate components.
