Get a sensor loupe and sensor pen, or spend hours and hours doing it by trial and error.

Ah, thank you! Compressed air is a beautiful idea and if that doesn't work I'll look into a lens pen. So I haven't done any permanent damage?

You may well do if you blast it with compressed air.

don't use compressed air on a sensor. It causes lots of strange pressure and temperature changes on the extremely sensitive surface. Plus its not particularly efficient at getting rid of dust and oil particles - which tend to stick to the sensor. You might even be simply reorganising the filth.

Nah, swabs or get it done professionally.

You can blow the sensor assembly out of it's place. You don't need much, about a 100 microns would be enough for massive decrease in IQ.
Use the lens pen, or better yet, send it in so someone actually competent can do the cleaning.

I asked about getting it professionally done by london camera exchange. The guy there was super honest with me and said it's either £40 to get it serviced or £40 for the sensor loupe and sensor pen kit, I enquired as to what the difference may be, his response was that they used that same loupe and pen for their "professional" services, so the only difference would be if there was sticky stuff on my sensor that needed a wet swab.

You can still fuck it up if you are an incompetent fool.
I think you are an incompetent fool. I am actually wanting to help you by suggesting getting it done by a specialist.

Lol, OK.
I'm not OP, just someone that uses the loupe and pen, it's super fucking easy and now I can make £20 out of everyone at my local camera club.

Like my idiot friend who scratched his focusing screen. Now he can't stop down lower than f5.6 because that scratch apears in the middle of his photo.

Get it done by someone who's competent and who can refund or fix it for ya if he fucks up.
