[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 607735, member: 3903"] The dust you can see in the viewfinder is usually located either under the focusing screen or sometimes above it. Yes it can be removed for cleaning but it is a bit of a burden. One can use a very fine and delicate brush to try removing the dust inside the mirror box that got attracted to the focusing glass but you have to be careful because it scratches really easy. This is the dust that should be removed first since when the mirror flips up and down, it can pull the dust and then the sensor electric field attracts it. But removing the focusing screen to clean above it requires a special tool that is available, but is sometimes a tricky thing to do and requires a bit of finesse. So, if it doesn't affect the image, I say leave it, but if it bothers you that much, then get on with it and do the job. :) [/QUOTE]
