Didn’t notice the size choices and accidentally ordered the wrong size. Still was able to use them to clean my sensors perfectly but it was a little tricker with a bigger swab.

A clean image requires a clean sensor. It is impossible to not eventually get dust on a sensor. Swipe the sensor in one direction using one side of the swab the other when going in the opposite direction. Use a cleaning swab only once and discard. DO NOT USE CANNED AIR on a sensor. Only clean the sensor if you have a dust particle. Try the self cleaning option most high-end camera offer before using a swab. To test if you have a dust particle, shoot a solid color that fills the frame making sure it is sharp. Shoot both a dark color and a light color to see dust artifacts in your image. Best of luck.

question

Are these for a full size digital sensor like Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
Asked by: Richard B.
This 3596346 swab is for medium format sensors. The cleaning portion (plastic support) under the fabric is 40mm wide, and edge to edge of the actual fabric it is 42mm wide. It covers the area for a 42mm medium-format sensor with one swipe, so there is no need to offset or stagger the swab while cleaning the sensor. The sensor on the EOS 5D is 36 x 24 mm, slightly smaller than this specific swab, not sure if something would be in the way of reaching the sensor with this item . VisibleDust recomends using a 24mm swab for your size sensor.
