Recently bought a second body whilst I wait for my insurance to be sorted out on the D300.



Shit quality, but only uploaded it to show the lens dust.

I've cleaned the lens with a kit, blew it with a rocket, and wiped gently with an anti static lens cloth. It looks mint.

I know for a fact it's not the mirror on the body, due to changing a lens and that having no defects.

How can I sort the dust out, I know its a two second job in photoshop to get rid of, but would rather have a decent lens without the dust....

Thanks guys.

Yeah, only a d50 for a d80, so nothing too spectacular.

Awaiting insurance money to sort out so I can get another D300.

Jesus that's bad.

Mirror Lock up on the cam, and use a rocket blower?

If not on the mirror, do it on the lens.

I used my blower brush and it still stays

I was going to try the old technique of putting selotape inside on my finger and hoping the bits stick to it

And then get the glue of the tape stuck to the lens!
