Photonius, which static brush do you use?

 

 

dustpatrol, http://www.thedustpatrol.com/products.html   

Comes in a little plastic tube, easy to take along on travels, not that expensive. (~25$).  I got it from in Europe from some UK shop, for a similar price. So, even in Switzerland, you can keep your costs down... ;-)

 

Probably like any brush, it takes two or three times to get the sensor clean (in between I check with taking pictures of a white wall with aperture >32, and looking at it on the computer with severely cranked up contrast). Usually what happens is that some dust is left at the edge, when one doesn't really push the brush completely to the edge, or some dust swirls around, and settles again - hence the 2 - 3 times). With practice, it probably could be done in one swipe.

 

The brush I clean by blowing it with the rocket blower, I avoid touching it to avoid grease.
