I finally stopped ignoring that one guy's advice about cleaning Leica shutters

Three months ago I finally used a rubber bulb blower on my M6 after years of just wiping the outside. The difference was night and day in terms of sharpness and contrast. Now I do a quick puff every time I swap lenses and I can't believe I waited so long.

Night and day" is right. I did the same thing with my old Pentax. Felt stupid afterwards.

Night and day" is a stretch for me. I tried the bulb blower thing on my M4-P and honestly didn't see much difference in my shots. Maybe my sensor was just clean enough already, or maybe I'm not pixel peeping hard enough. But I kept getting dust spots anyway, so now I just use a sensor swab once a month and call it done. Seems more reliable than hoping a puff of air fixes everything.
