Originally posted by Dom That's what I'm doing. The test shooting I'm doing is at f40 defocused on to a white card.
The original images was taken in quite extreme macro at f22.
Edit: Yep, the lens I'm using is nice and clean.
Then it is defenitly on the sensor, and it does not look like dust to me as well.
Get it cleaned or clean it yourself, oily stuff is pretty well removeable with a wet sweep.
I'd do it myself, if you've never cleaned your sensor before, you might want to take it to the shop.
(Have a look while they do the cleaning, that might save you money in future).
