Probably, and that is the main reason people view the lens changing length when zooming as a drawback. But it seems to me that performance would be significantly more affected by flare due to poor shielding (by a lesser lens/hood design) from stray light sources from the day the lens is purchased than from a little bit of dust that may or may not ever get into the lens. For other lenses I just wish Canon had longer hoods for each lens specifically for the D30/60 frame cropping. It seems like they could make a killing selling two hoods to those of us willing to pay for it, and I would have a lot less lens flare to deal with if they offered this option.
