John Collier [jbcollier@shaw.ca] quoth:
*>A speck in the lens will not leave a spot on the neg. You only get a 
*>clear spot on the neg from something very close to the focal plane. 
*>Something in the lens can leave a fuzzy patch but it would have to be 
*>pretty big.

Hmmm...it's not all that big, but it's really hard to tell since it's
inside of the lens and in front of the aperture diaphragm. So, should I
just let it be then if it's not responsible for the spots on a few negs? I
guess I'm just a little fussy since it's fairly new and it hasn't gotten
it's first good ding yet.
