I honestly almost bought something like that (inexpensive), but I went with one of the more modern manual ones (~$90). I love all the old tools that I inherited from my dad's parents after they sold their house and moved into a retirement home about three years ago

old tools are good in so many ways! They definitely don't make things like they used to.

Good evening Mr. Alcheng

Sounds excellent!

I'm going to go invert myself for a few minutes as it really helps my back.

I ran the camera's sensor cleaning utility, and then I locked up the mirror and puffed some air onto the sensor with the squeezy thing in my cleaning kit to clear any dust or particles that were hanging out on the sensor.
That did the trick.
You'd think these things were assembled in a sterile environment?
