My old *ist-DS needed a brush with the arctic butterfly allmost every 6 months and it would have quite a lot of dust on it.
On my K20D which sees more lens changes it was only a single spec... A single sweep with the butterfly cleaned it perfectly.
This shows how good the coating works because I only use the sensor shake every few weeks or so. (I haven't set it to shake during every startup)
On the other side, a tiny spec has lodged itself on the wrong side of the focus screen but I'll live with that, removing a focus screen and trying to clean it will mostly make the problem worse...
