Look through view finder don't feel anything. But when take out the lens, wow!! you can see them. But during Thaipusam, my friend still shoot with this unit. Pictures are still sharp. Actually I borrow this from my friend. Now looking for place to service it.

yeah, that's the point. sometimes it might look scary but note noticeable in the end result. so you might wanna consider that before cleaning the lens.
