As Backdoor Hippie mentioned above, be sure you place your camera's body cap and the rear lens cap together so their backs aren't exposed to any possible dust/lint from inside your camera bag. I go an extra step further...after coupling them together, I put them inside a baggie. And as BDH said, blow off the rear lens element from time to time as well as blow off the backs of the rear lens caps and the body cap.When I took some Abstract photos for the March photo contest, I saw a few spots that appeared between f/11 and f/16. Although I am always careful about changing lenses, it does happen. Below is an unedited photo--other than to resize and add the circled spots. None of these causes me any alarm. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> By the way, I don't know which rocket blower you ordered, but Giottos makes a good one that has a filter on its back end. That way it won't suck in any debris and blow it into the camera. The large and medium sizes are great. The small doesn't move much air at all though.<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=giottos+rocket+blower" target="_blank">Amazon.com: giottos rocket blower</a> [USER=9240]@BackdoorHippie[/USER], please note that PhotoBob asked for your opinion on wet cleaning solutions.
