[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 252783, member: 9521"] [b]Re: Spots on image NOT DUST OR OIL![/b] I know you say it's not oil but I think you've come to that conclusion too quickly. For one, not all cleaning solutions are capable of removing oil very easily, especially old and dried oil. Moreover, the fact you can't see them when looking thru a loupe is consistent with my experiences. I've never been able to see the dust on my OLPF even when I knew it was there. So before you do anything drastic, convince yourself that it's not old dried oil by cleaning it with a solution capable of dissolving oil. Eclipse would work on fresh oil, being methanol, but wouldn't be so good on dried oil. Instead, I would use this cleanser - [url=http://www.visibledust.com/products3.php?pid=303]Smear Away.
