Now the nikon wanted it badly in the end. And I?ve had the fujis? sensors cleaned when we came back from a safari in Africa in March. And I know why :-) Seems to have worked on your pana. Yet, f8 may be the limit where you actually begin to see those big blobs. I?d have another try at f 16 or 22 against just a plain vanilla screen or a uniform sky, just to make sure.
