Hi all,
Been playing with my new lens, and noticed a small hair that is more visible when the aperture is stopped down (photos added at the bottom).
I've cleaned the front element of the lens a bit, and will do more tomorrow in better light. Looking at the images though, i get the feeling it is between the camera and the rear element.
Should I just puff the rear element with a rocket air blower then re-attach, see if the hair is gone, if not puff the inside of the body and see if it goes? I can also see a couple of spots on the sensor, would puffing some air in fix this, or is it worth getting it cleaned (or leave it for a while as it isn't too noticeable)
Never had to do this before so wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing!
Here are the pics (was just a quick experiment with the macro!) the hair is near the bottom left,

2. f/25 iso 800
