I cleaned the sensors on two old DSLRs, one FF one APS-H today using a Pentax cleaning stick which is dry not wet and a magnifying glass and a torch. First time I have cleaned sensors. I checked the results by taking pictures of a white sheet of paper at f22 using manual focus to get the results out of focus. Viewed the results in Lightroom using the spot fixing tool set to visualise the spots. The cleaning has definitely removed most of the dust but some remains but other than the odd spot is not visible on the sensors.
Do you need perfectly clean sensors or just accept their will be some spots, most of which will not be visible at the f stops I normally use?
Do sensors deteriorate with age, hot spots or the equivalent of dead pixels?
