I have the 17-50 VC and I was shooting some dirty saw-dusty footage and got a couple specks of dirt or something in the lens. Physically IN the lens, and it seems like there is some minor speckage on bot the front and rear elements. I haven't checked the footage yet to see if it shows up in my shots. I just took some stills to see if the specks show up, they don't.

I really hope it doesn't show up in my shots, that would suck. Anyone have this happen? Able to clean the lens out? Anyone have to have the lens professionally opened/cleaned? Thanks to anyone who replies.
 
I think this is almost inevitable. Some lenses are worse than others. I have the Tamron 17-50 and there are a few specks in it, but not any worse than any of my other lenses.

I'm sure the L-Series are better in this regard since they're weather sealed, but yeah... most lenses will get some specks in them no matter how much you baby it.
 
Thanks y'all for the responses. The dust doesn't seem to be affecting any images here either. Took it to the camera shop and the fix it dude was saying it is fine. My sensor was kinda dirty too, I really started freaking out then, haha.
