Grrr! DUST RANT....!!!!!

ParkertR · 1st February 2005

Im so pissed... went out for a shoot with my kit lens... came back to find my lens dusty on the INSIDE! and i didn't even remove it once....worse still... i can't clean it... have to send for cleaning and i won't be home till at least april. *Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr* anyone have any dust problems with their 18-70mm kit lens? Sealing problems or sth??? grrrrrrr even my push-pull tamron doesnt suck in so much dust!

I noticed quite a few dust particles in mine as well. It looks annoying but so far none of them are visible in the photos, thankfully.

The dust won't affect your pictures, so dun fret too much about it.
