Dust
Jan 27, 2020 01:37:51 #
How does dust in the lens affect the image? Is the dust removable if it affects the image, and how costly would that be? I looked in this subject in the "Search" box but did not find anything yet that treated with this problem. I have an opportunity to buy a lens I have been seeking and the seller says there is a little dust in it and I am curious as to how dust impacts an image.

Not everyone is a member of Mensa like you. You know what the poster meant, so why didn't you just answer the question instead of hurling insults.

Getting dust in the lens is quite normal. Lenses are not air tight. They have to breathe. Every lens I've had had dust and it never affected the image at all.

And the Inglish grandmatical class begins wen and were? I kinda think that most people understand what the OP was getting at without the 3rd grader going off on someone's grammatical errors. Now how about contributing to his post and answer the question the OP asked if you can. Also when you make childish comments on someone's grammar you might want to put the correct usage of the word or words in question.

Why do you have to do this. Does it really hurt you that much!

Why have such a negative impact on the poster?

If it's a Canon lens you can send it to CanonUSA for a good cleaning. Cost would be minimal.

Most likely the dust will have an extremely minor effect. Usually only oily fingerprints will will have noticeable impact on quality. Although you’re talking about internal dust, I don’t worry so much about it and avoid excessive cleaning of my lenses, since rubbing glass even with a soft cloth can eventually remove the precious coating that reduces lens flare and helps maintain good contrast.

👍👍👍 There's always someone who feels they have the superior intellect to appoint themselves the "Grammer Police". It must be great to hang around with this conceited jerk.

I remember growing up in an era when one could feel and see that the culture was "all boats rising," and our community was making that happen. Helpful suggestions were welcomed, and relationships were seen to be generally positive - at least that was the objective.
Constructive criticism can be a benefit; the key is are we judging one another or helping?
I think that's the aspiration that usually sets the tone for this website, to improve one another's photography. And if we can get a little coaching in communications along the way, good.
But let's not lose sight of the benefits that draw us to this forum, shall we?

It is a case of projective affliction.
