Dust in lens

pbuckland05

I have a 24 - 105 canon lens I have noticed a bit of dust inside the lens when I have a look through from what i can understand it won't appear on any photos is this the case? Or is it somthing I need to get cleaned.
Thanks

if only dust then *mostly* you won't have to worry about it - and it shouldn't be noticeable on the end product. Many lens sold on eBay will have in their description that dust is visible within the lens, but has no effect on the resulting image.

it would obviously be better without it, but is also kind of a hazard with some lenses/environments. Dust on the sensor (perfectly treatable) would be more to worry about.

As long as it is just dust and not the beginnings of fungus growth you should be fine. A few specks of dust wont do much harm to an image/nothing noticable but obviously no dust is better than a small amount of dust.

cheers for that the lens is only a month old so i dont think its fungus its probably nothing im just obsessive.
