Hi guys,
I have recently bought a new D850 and a 24-70 2.8 VR and thought I'd sell my trustee D800 and 24-70 2.8 ED. I have been getting the boxed out etc and thought I'd give the sensor a quick wet clean using the method I have always used (A new pec pad wrapped around a swab with a drop of cleaning solution, only swiped once across the sensor with each pec pad).
I took a couple of shots of the sky at F18 and noticed some lines at the top of the image. Hoping it was dust, I swiped across the top of the sensor with a new pad and tried again, and the lines are in exactly the same place.
I assume these are permanent scratches and there is nothing I can do other than a repair which would not be worth the expense?
you can see the photos here
Clearly this is a pain but not as bad as if it had happened with the new camera. I was planning on selling it for about £600 which I thought was good value for a camera with 40k actuations. I want to be up front with anybody buying it, any suggestions for how much I should offer it for now?
