[filmscanners] RE: SS4000 fixes to improve quality--dust removal

["Robert Meier" <filmscanner@meierlim.com>]

If the brush is dry and free of grease and the same is true for the dirt on
the mirror then it might work. But who knows what kind of dirt is on the
mirror. I would not take the risk of making it worse and possibly requiring
a very expensive trip to the repair center. On a camera it's not that bad
because the mirror won't affect the image quality (unless you have a fixed
mirror).
