Hello to all nikon friends, I bought this len recently and shoot it for a few days. I was shock some dust had entered inside the len.
At 14mm, there is a small gap opening between the len and the len hood and the opening gap will close at about 16mm. I feel the gap is small enough to generate some vaccum effect when I zoom between 14-24mm, inviting dust into the len.
As I normally maintain my lenses well, I found this len particularly difficult to maintain. I check with Nikon Center, and it would cost me S$180 to blow away those few dust. Though it will not affect the pic quality, but seeing those dust is just irritating.
I like to know if you have similar experience? and what precaution measures do you take?
Thank you.
