I found a used Nikon 50mm F1.8 lens for my Redrock Micro M2 at a local shop.
Is it possible that there can be dust inside the lens, and should I avoid that? I mean, under very close examination, I could see a handful of very tiny black specks (which I assume to be dust) on the lens. I wiped it down on both sides thoroughly and upon still seeing them I decided that the particles must be on the inside. Now I had to hold it up to the light and a white piece of paper to see them, but if they're going to show up on my tape and ruin my footage, I'd prefer to know ahead of time, you know?
