A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have had several mirrorless bodies, Sony A6000, Fuji XPro3, Fuji X-E4, but my Sony A7iii is the only one on which I seem to have sensor dust every single time I swap lenses…

Brand by brand how impacted are you by this issue ? Do you think that there are specific models which exhibit this issue more than others ?

I shot Olympus and Pansonic M43 for several years before going Sony FF. I cleaned a spec of dust one time ever on my G9 with a blower. I take my cameras hiking as I do landscapes so I'm constantly in rough conditions.

My Sony FF gets so dirty sometimes even the cleaning function and blower doesn't do it and I resort to sensor wipes. The sensors literally act like dust magnets for me. It doesn't matter whether the lens I'm using is weather sealed...even without swapping lenses after a few weeks of use I have dust showing up in my photos. It only takes on lens swap and I'll be cleaning numerous dust specs from the sensor in post. Been through two A7R2s that both do this.
