It has never harmed any of my film bodies and the *ist D came up very clean without me having to resort to using swabs or other forms of physical contact. I haven't a decent portable solution though. I've not trashed any shutters and I never end up more crap in the finder than I started with, generally one blast will clean out everything. AU$150 for an oxy reg, gun and 10m of HP hose then after that it's the rental on the bottles that kills the fun. A G bottle (7m3) or industrial grade compressed nitrogen (Moisture at 15�C <100ppm at full cylinder pressure BOC product #032) costs only about AU$66 to fill and lasts a good year or so even when used frequently.
