[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 56137, member: 2176"] I have an 18-105 kit lens that came with my D90 years ago when I purchased it. I don't really use it, as my D90 is now my backup and I use my D700 with my FX lenses most of the time. I loaned it to a friend, and I noticed in some of his photos that it appeared to be dirty. I suggested he clean the lens, which he did, and they are still there. He thinks the specks are inside the lens, which is quite possible, but I thought it could also be his sensor. If the specks are inside the lens, what would Nikon charge to clean this lens? I imagine it would be more than the lens is worth. Are there alternatives? Is this something I dare attempt myself? A used 18-105 VR seems to sell for around $150-200 on eBay, sometimes cheaper. I'm pretty handy, perhaps I should tear into it myself. [/QUOTE]
