Ever since I got my K-30 in June I have been building up a small army of M42 primes in various focal lengths. Honestly, I love every single one of them and because of them I have only minimal LBA pangs.
Every single one of them has internal dust. The dust is very easy to see with the aide of a bright light. I have read in many places on the web that dust has a minimal impact, if any, on image quality. The worst it could do is affect the contrast in an otherwise beautiful and colorful photo. The dust has to be seriously huge for it to easily show up on a photo.
Is there some sort of extreme test condition that I could create where the dust on the inner elements of my lenses would actually show up in a picture and obviously stand out over any sensor noise? I'm just curious more than anything now.
Thanks!
