I received a supposingly brand new lens today and noticed there is quite some dust inside it. Besides that, I believe there are tiny specks as well on the second glass element from the back. I know dust gets into the lens after some time, but I wasn't expecting this with a brand new lens, that cost my company quite some money.
I haven't seen any problems on the footage so far, but it just doesn't feel right.
Should I return it?
@Mr_Moore. Thanks for the advice. I am actually in touch with the seller/producer now. Have you had any experience with dust inside brand ne lenses? To be honest, I never really cared and just shot (and never saw problems) with new lenses, but with this one I was really looking at every detail because it cost me/my company more than usual.
