[QUOTE="nidding, post: 217702, member: 17555"] Hey. Today, after messing a bit with a reverse macro ring, I noticed some dirt on my viewfinder. Just a little black dot. It doesn't show up in the photos or on the LCD, so I'm assuming it's on the mirror or the focus screen. I've tried blowing the dirt of with a rocket blower and have wiped the focus screen with a q-tip with some lense cleaning liquid on it (was this a bad idea?). Both without luck. I think I can see the dust on the mirror, but am not sure if this is really it. In the viewfinder it's on the edge, but on the mirror it looks to be in the center. Also, if it were on the mirror, wouldn't it be very out of focus? Any advise on how to get the dirt out would be greatly appreciated as the camera is new, and I would hate to have to send it in for cleaning :) [/QUOTE]
