Is it worth having the lens properly repaired to realise the full s/h value ?

Have you considered BBF ( back button focussing ) takes a short while to get used to, but after that becomes second nature.

Morning Rob,

I use an Arctic Butterfly to do mine, a brush that spins to generate static and the dust adheres to the brush, you then spin it again to throw the dust into the air, comes with a Lupe to examine the sensor. If yours is as bad as you suggest, it may need a wet clean first, but worth having a look.

I find having used it a few times, over the years, for whatever reason, the sensor seems to attract less and less dust and I do change the lenses during a shoot and in all conditions.

Superb !!

Hi Phil,

Apologies, didn't get chance last night to check my K3ii, have done this morning, theres nothing I can see that resembles anything like your image of what may have dropped from the camera, I asked re the Fuji as I have an X100s so cant answer re the X30

Ok, I'll check my K3 later this evening and see if anything looks similar, what was the Fuji camera ?

What camera did it possibly come from ? was a battery grip attached ?

Was the shim found directly underneath the camera ? on the floor ? or ......... ?

If the colour 35mm was shot at a similar time and processed at the same lab, the scratches would suggest it's a lab issue.

If otherwise your happy with the quality and service from the existing lab, I'd be inclined to contact them, complaining in a reasonable manner and see what they come back to you with.
