This can be removed if you wish by flipping the focusing screen down (on models where that's possible).
Blow with blower, or hover a statically charged brush over it. (I know not everyone agrees with using a blower, but it works for me, albeit requiring a few attempts sometimes).

Same issue here on my K20D...a small black dot has appeared recently. Fortunately it has no effect on photographs so I'm leaving it well alone !!
thanks for the idea though

hmmm i have the same problem in the viewfinder (even without a lens), it's probably my fault as by trying to clean it i seem to have added some more!
it also seems to be on the rear side (where i put my eye, on the screen side) and not on the mirror (which is clean), any thought on how to clean it? (it seems to be in between the 2 pieces of glass as changes with the eye focus thingy (dont know how it's called!)).
might need a professional to look at it, any good address in london?
thanks!

I've also used CEWE, best photobook I've had

Certainly has potential, a nice reflection in the water would help (there's a hint of one in the sand)but personally I'd have had the foreground rocks much closer/more dominant in the foreground, they're currently a little bit lost in the scene, also perhaps slightly off-centre but not necessarily - depends how they worked out.
Out of interest what aperture did you use/where did you focus as the mountain/distant scenery looks slightly soft?

Sigma 70-300 APO although my copy did suffer quite a bit of CA (the reason I sold it).
If you want the best consumer zoom then its undoubtedly the
Pentax DA 55-300, best colour/contrast of all, minimal CA and sharp at 300mm - unfortunately though its quite a bit more expensive than the others, although 2nd hand they are reasonable
