when did you stop treating your camera like a virgin? [EXIF

>sensor

i think ur the virgin here, my friend.

When I was thirteen. Cameras are tools meant to be used until they are broken.

What are you, poor?

>>3066000
Not even poor, but I don't feel any connection with a device or tool that hasnt been 100% raped by me, especially with something that eventually needs cleaning
My typical phases are something like: >buy new monitor/gadget/etc, treat it as if it's made of diamonds and be super careful with it
>Get bored and/or be forced to clean it >suddenly lose all fascination and treat it like anything else I own while accepting existential crisis

>>3066004

That's why I've never cleaned any of my equipment besides a quick tongue lasting on the front element. Filmfags get to wax nostalgic about the organic component of their media. For me, the aggregate schmutz of several years' worth of shooting are the organic part of digital.

minor scratch in sensor because of microfibre lol

>wiping lens with your shirtfront where you just wiped your greasy figures after eating a burger

>not throwing the camera away after every shot

>>3065991
When I realize a lens has to be in terrible condition to affect the image. I'm glad I use film. If I had a sensor I would never want to change the lens.

>>3066042

Film is subject to multiple points of physical and biological contamination. It's just that newbies mistake that for the magic natural unpredictability of film.

There was even a swede tripfag who used to photoshop film scratches onto his negative shots, which is about as daddy issues as you can possibly get.

>>3065991
the mini LensPen they make for viewfinders is great for cleaning sensors. You can't actually get at the sensor, there's a little piece of glass in front of it and that's what you're cleaning.

>>3066213
Why not use the one for sensors by lenspen?

Also, cleaning sensors without a sensor loupe is for dribbly faced retards.

>wash an apple microfiber cloth and fold it up without touching it
>use a qtip with the apple microfiber cloth to clean the sensor
>do a 1 second shutter at f22 at a wall while moving to see dust and dirt
>a couple of spots of dust
>its the lens out of the box, the sensor is perfectly fine

>>3066220
Lol, no, dust inside lenses doesn't show up. You just didn't clean your sensor properly.

>>3066222
Meh who shots at F-22 anyway

>First week I wouldn't even bring my Rabal outside, was too afraid. Was worried the bag moving the camera slightly when I walked could be breaking it.

>7 years later I move around $3000 in gear like it's nothing, shoot in rain, sand storms, etc

>>3066227
How do we get to this point anon?

You realize that these things are built to be used.

>in a swift motion remove camera lens fully and instantly replace with new lens to avoid leaving sensor/mirror exposed

>>3066215
because the SensorKlear is just an expensive LensPen with a bent handle and there's literally no need for a loupe if you have functional eyes

Applefaggot kys you fucking idiot

>got d3300 with kit lens
would be afraid of shooting street for fear of it being stolen, would keep it in a plastic bag, in my pack when hiking until I wanted to take a picture
>10 months later
lost the lens cap glissading down mt adams when it smashed into the snow as I was sliding down at 25 mph, sand got in mechanism for lens, just zoomed in and out until all the sand fell out, went and shot riots, sold it to someone going to photograph standing rock,
>sensor probably now cleaned with pepperspray

now I take my k1 everywhere, because why the fuck are you going to spend money on a tool and then be afraid to use it?

>>3066300
Did theg get a good deal anon, or did you not want to be the one it died on?
