Dust in Focus Screen

Hi all,

I know this topic has been kicked to death; yes, all camera's get dust in their focus screen and it doesn't effect picture quality - so just live with it!

But, I figured that it might be interesting to compare how bad it can get!

Here's my K-S2's focus screen. I've owned this camera since March, 2016. And yes, I believe that's a hair in there..

I took this picture by holding my phone's camera up to the viewfinder,

Post yours!

you may try a rocket blower on the focusing screen but WAIT for more comments.

That's *really* dusty. I would blow it out, as suggested. Unless the dust is under the screen?

Oh yeah, but every time I mention it I get the quintessential "It's normal to have dust, just live with it".

I've tried blowing it out MANY times, it is clearly under the screen. Thanks though!

Did you remove the focusing sreen first or just tried to blow the dust off as everything is attached in place ?
