Oppps...too late on that...I have actually lifted the mirror up with a pen to try and get behind it.Those things arent as fragile as they make them out to be. Supposed to be able to take some beating.Just never touch the face of them though. But my camera works real good now that it was cleaned. I really tend to disagree with using a blower though. Think about it....anything forced air blowing on a delicate surface is surely to minutely embed foriegn particles into it. I think sucking with a vacuum makes more sense. Also I heard methyl hydrate can be used. One thing I want to know is what the best lens cleaner is.Sure I could just go to a camera store and buy it, but I would rather go like to a drugstore and buy bulk stuff if it is something like alcohol. Guess not spit and your sleeve though LOL.
