Sensor Loupe advice

[Scottie68]

Hey all ... Can anyone recommend me a good sensor loupe? Over the past year or so I've been cleaning my ff sensors with swabs and been 95% happy with the outcome. But the last go I've found that all I'm doing is moving the dust around and leaving some of it at the end of the last sweep.
So its time to invest in a decent recommended sensor loupe.

So if anyone can recommend one that they have actually used instead of reading a review i would be very grateful

I'm happy with my Delkin Sensor Scope but I'm sure there are plenty of similar options.

I've got the visible dust LED loupe and it is very good, it saves ages shooting test shots of the sky at f22

It is pricey, but if you can find an alternative, make sure it has LED lights in it. They really are invaluable.

Thanks for the replies

Been looking at the Visible Dusk Quasar® SensorLoupe® 7X. As you all say, bit pricey but I guess if you work it on the price of sending the camera away for a clean it will save a lot of money in the long run.

Does anyone recommend the Arctic Butterfly as well? Read a lot of mixed reviews on it and not sure wether to make the jump!

I've got an arctic butterfly but never really got on with it, I find a rocket blower as a first and most often approach and then visible dust green swabs and vdust formula less often
