I use a small laser point to shine through lenses- and while a beam straight through the axis of the lens does a great job of showing 'dirt' in the lens- it casts big shadows on a ceiling!... the effect seems to be less evident when the light is shone at an olblique angle, and there is a lot of scattering- even with the coated surfaces. Just my observation! I notice the same with my M6 classic, and I just put it down to atmospheric 'schmutz'- and when veiwing or focusing, it doesn't seem to interfere at all. Dan
