[QUOTE="nickt, post: 640082, member: 4923"] I have an old 18-70mm lens that came with my D70 way back when they came out. It has a huge amount of dust inside but does not affect anything that I can see. It did make me decide not to sell the lens on ebay because I didn't want the headache of a buyer being disappointed. Try cleaning the sensor with a little more pressure (unless you think you already did). I've had some that required a little more effort than expected. I was nervous of course, but it was my older camera. Dirt did come off with a harder wipe. Not as delicate as I thought. Some people use a sensor loupe, I just use an over-powered pair of cheap reading glasses and get my face in close with a good light. Those spots will be small to see, like pinpoints. I have good luck with a sensor brush and it has greatly cut down my wet cleanings. Pushing against the flow of the bristles helps with suborn spots, possibly stuck pollen.
