Most likely dust on sensor/lens.

unlikely the lens,as it appears even when lens is not attached.
did a lil blowing and wiping the mirror on the body..but still there.

Hmmm... That's interesting!

Usually:
Black dot in VF = won't appear on image
Black dot in image = dust on sensor and won't appear on VF
Both in VF and image = dust in lens

Yours is both at the same spot and yet it's not the lens?

That's weird and interesting!

 

[felixcat8888]

It's the damn viewfinder. He used a blower to clean the sensor and use the menu's dust removal. I see dust on the viewfinder in his photos to me . . . But how the heck can dust be on the same spot on the sensor? That is one I don't understand

EXACTLY! What are the chances of having dust on the same spot on the sensor as it is on the VF?!

LOL! One "lucky" guy.. HUAT ah! Hahaha!

The common wisdom you have to adopt sooner or later. dust on sensor...clean. dust on VF...learn to ignore.
i used to have a dead ant on one of my film camera VF, the cam still work fine till now.

I know this is discussed to the death at pentaxforums.com so here it is:

K-30 or K-50 at this point in time? I'm just short of checking out prices from local stores. Not sure if the price gap between this 2 models are not significant.

*Just to add that i used to walk the dslr path briefly, fully aware of lens over body principle in terms of budgeting. cheers.

thanks.

K30 now only available on the B&S. K50 is available in stores. New K50 approx $9xx. K30 around $4xx.

Is tamron 17-50 F2,8 a good buy?any advice?

 

[felixcat8888]

Get the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 hehehe

 

[SyncGuy]

Is tamron 17-50 F2,8 a good buy?any advice?

To me, yes... Although I seldom use it as its main purpose is for versatility in events coverage.

Otherwise, I would say either the Tammy 17-50, Sigma 17-50 or da16-50 is good.. Much better over the kit lens.

Most importantly, what is your intended purpose of usage?
