to the OP dammm, you have some serious kahunas, there's no way i'm doing that know my luck chances are my 70-200 will spontaneously combust

To netuser, I thought it was just me who had issues with my tammy collecting dust....but apparently i'm not the only one out there...I remember speaking to a lens repair person and they said it has something to do with the elements moving so far that it acts like a pump,sucking in air and of course dust particles.... it's a shame that such a awesome lens has to be hamperd by the fact that it's a dust sucking magnet....

Sorry for the blury and hasty photos

perhaps i'm over reacting to the dust i have in my Tammy but i just cant afford to have it in repair even for a week, as i have nothing to replace it with it's downtime.

here are some photos of the dust. no major particles on the front or rear elements but there are some larger specs on the middle elements.....
