Can we talk about those ultrasonic sensor cleaners?
I thought they were a gimmick for years, but a shop in Portland let me run a Hasselblad shutter through theirs. The gunk it pulled out of the pivot points was unreal. Anyone have a model they actually trust for vintage parts?

Totally get it. I ran an old Nikon F2 prism through one and the difference in the viewfinder was shocking.

Ever try one on a lens mount?

Tried it once on a beat up Pentax Spotmatic. My hands were shaking so bad I nearly dropped the whole thing in the ultrasonic. Had to fish it out with chopsticks from the kitchen. Still worked better than my first attempt cleaning a sensor with a q-tip. Now that was a disaster. That camera still has a smudge I call my "signature mark.
