try do ur test shot at f20 and above.

more or less, whether ur lens or ur sensor, most of the time some tiny dust will be there.

i blow my sensor and mirror, but one time i blow it with a wrong angle, the dust fly inside the penta-mirror and stay there. Nikon says need RM200+ to remove it, even still under warranty..

Which angle is a wrong angle?

blow directly to the pentamirror, which means the area above the reflection mirror,
this will push the dust to fly inside to the pentamirror thru the small gap near the reflection mirror hinge.

If this happens, only your viewfinder will have dust spots right?

Does it look anything like the red blotch of light at the topmost AF point in this post? http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=16356471

My 40D have abnormal viewfinder since yesterday.
