    Hi guys, newbie here, hope someone can help.

    I bought a Sigma SA 7 for some amateur photography. I really like it, so i bought a Sigma Zoom 100-210mm to go with the standard 28-80mm lens.

    I guess when I was switching between them, some dust crept in there...i'm not sure where it is. I can see it on the fornt of the lens but obviously its not affecting the picture...is there any way to fix this? Its just annoying me!

    Thanks guys

    get a "blower". They are between a fiver and 15 euro in various camera shops, and blow a shot of air that will move it. Dont try blowing as you can accidentally spit on the lens, and that's worse than dust.

    dust inside the lens makes no difference to the picture and you can't remove it, dust on the front of the lens makes little difference and can be cleaned off with a soft cloth as with dust on the back of the lens.

    dust on the mirror inside the camera makes little difference to what you see and no difference to the image

    dust on the sensor is visable at high apertures and there's a million sites on google explaining the careful procedure needed to clean it off
