[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 233427, member: 3903"] The dark spots that you see in the sky are not caused by dust on the lens, but by dust inside the camera behind the shutter on the sensor. As far as the focusing problem goes, you have to understand how the autofocus works in new DSLRs. In order for autofocus to work, you need a few things: First, you need enough light with a lens that has a large enough opening for the auto-focus to work. Second, your subject has to be contrasty and just not be in front of a brighter and more contrary pattern. Trying to use autofocus on clouds or in the sky is almost always difficult. If you read the Nikon manual, there is a whole section about difficult focusing situations and how to deal with them. Third, sometimes it's better to use manual focus. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
