2. A repair shop. I have somehow managed to get dust inside my lens - its How old is the lens? I used to work in a camera store and we got a lens in
stock that had a flake of something inside it and it went back to the
manufacturer to be removed. It is also possible that the dust has been there
since manufacture even if it is old as the lens elements may or may not be
within the depth of focus depending on what distance it was focused on and what
type of lens it is and what type of design. Now dust on the outside of the front
of the lens does degrade fine detail but it doesn't show as dust. Dust of the
outside rear element of the lens is more likely to be in focus on the film
plane (or "sensor" plane).
So in general dust towards the rear of the lens tend to be more in focus.
So it might not be as bad of a problem as you think. I have
lived in NY for. gee it been 30 years so I assume Marty Fouster
(sp?) has retired. You might call B and H Photo (bhphotovideo.com)for a
reference for someone.
