I find myself having to constantly cleaning the sensor for dust, to the point that it has become nearly a daily routine...I do take lots of pictures every month, and after searching online for an answer I was told that it is the lens fault. The lens is the OEM DX16-50... What I was told is that every time you zoom from 16 to 50, you are actually sucking particle of dust inside onto the sensor... I'm struggling a bit to believe this as while the front of the lens does move, there are no gaps on the back near the sensor... I do have noticed that the lens it is not a tight fit onto the camera.. I mean, it is not loose, but it doesn't feel as tight as when I use other more expensive Nikkor lenses..My questions here are:1) Is dust a common issue for mirrorless cameras?2) Could be that I got a defective OEM lens that is out of spec/tolerance and that allows dust in even when mounted on the camera? As I mentioned the other lenses I got feel a lot more tight when you twist to mounted on the camera...3) Can anyone provide some help/guideline to alleviate this dust problem..Thanks</blockquote>
