Picture attached shows several dark dust spots. Have to enlarge it to see dust spots. Tried everything from rocket blaster to wet wipes. Tried at least 6 times. It is better but dark dust spots still show. Using a 18-300 Nikor lens with a Z-50 Mirrorless.
Hopefully attached picture
correction--Altura Kit. Trying to send a picture. Easier to send to an email if possible. Picture shows about 4 small dust spots taken on a Nikor 18-300 lens at 18mm cropped camera. Pictures smaller than F13 are good with no polarizing lens.
The Althea kit was purchased from Amazon and contains a soft brush. A pencil brush, magic fiber microfiber cloths and a rocket blaster. I even tried a wet wipe. I will try to send a picture as well. Once again, thank you so much for your help.
I spoke with Nikon and they suggest only air blaster. I bought an Altura lens cleaning kit which includes an air blaster, 2 brushes one of which is the pencil type and cleaning cloth. There is no liquid cleaner in this kit. I have tried the two different types of brushes, one of which is the pencil and the air blaster. It is better but still get dust spots at f 14 without a polarizing filter. Thank you so much for all of your help.
Using a Nikon Z-50 with a Nikor 18-300 lens. With a circular polarizing filter getting dust spots at f-10 and up. Under f-10 pictures are fine. Have cleaned the sensor, lens and filter. Still same results. Without the filter gain 2 f stops to f 13 with good results. Over f 13 see dust spots.
Many thanks to everyone for your help. Ugly Hedgehog is a great tool for solving problems.
Thanks to all. You are a great source of information.
Thanks for all of your help.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I have tried using Polarizing and Neutral Density in Nik Software with pretty good results.
I have a Nikon Z-50 cropped camera with a Nikon 18-300 AF-S DX Nikor 18-300mm. I use a Pro Master 67mm Circular Polarizing Filter.. When the lens is at wide angle I get vignetting. Is it the filter? If so what filter
Do you recommend?
