Thanks everyone. The reason I thought it was there before is because I previoulsy saw a line. The thing is that this "Scratch" is a bit off centered. I have always been scared to use a q-tip because of such stated reasons but did not see any other choice at the time. I typically remove the lint or dust beforehand with the blower. I may have to look into another cleaning kit as mentioned. I would rather pay for someone to clean it. I am clumsy and have a bad habit of messing things up. I have tried so hard to learn the right way to take care of my camera and how to be gentle with it but I obviously messed this one up! -_- Thankfully you can not see it in the pics, which is what matters most.
@newbshooter, Where can i look into the deek skin swabs? Sounds interesting.
@fotojack, you have a valid point. I am guilty of that. What I would think is that the quicker I change the lens, the less chance of something getting in. Overall, I have tried to get into a routine of changing my lens beforehand rather than "in the moment." I will have to change my lens slower from now on.
