I almost lost my DSLR because of pine tree pollen, that colored dust is probably worse. I replaced the focus screen, a $60.00 part, but there is still some pollen on the prism and it would be a major and expensive repair to fix that. It doesn't affect the pictures so I put up with it.
Pop up flashes are a point of entry for a lot of crud, I made the mistake of using the flash outdoors and it bit me. I use an accessory flash now and keep the pop up disabled.

Not something I would have even thought of. Thanks.

What's a DSLR? Some kind of camera? :) I've got a Rollei Twin Lens Reflex that shoots 35mm and 2 1/4 X 2 1/4. Don't have the 8x10 adapter or underwater case.
During the LBJ inauguration the SS tried to knock it out of my hand as I snapped a picture of the presidential limo in the motorcade. Later on, when things slowed down, as governors passed by I'd get to talk with them and get a wave as I took their picture. Great fun for a junior high kid.
Does anyone make a half frame 35mm anymore? Always wanted one of the Leica viewfinders.
