    Was thinking of selling my canon nifty fifty but jsut noticed dust inside the lens.

    I dont think it affects the performance of the lens or if it does, it's not visible in my shots...

    Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

    I was hoping to sell it to a friend but if the dust affects IQ i'll send him elsewhere

    This is from another site.
    .... in any event it's highly unlikely that dust on a lens element would be visible in the final picture. There's an old anecdote about an astronomer asking an optical scientist to make him a new telescope. Seeing little bubbles in the glass, the stargazer was concerned that it would affect the quality of his view. Optical bloke said not to worry... On using his new telescope, the astronomer was amazed at the quality and finally agreed that the bubbles in the glass had no effect. "Oh", says the optical bloke, "so you didn't notice the dozen postage stamps I stuck on the lens then?"...
