Hi Markus ... Dust is an issue with film. I'd blow my camera bodies out before each day of shooting, and film easily picks up dust (and scratches). Don't know if there are better sealed bodies, but if you're changing lenses, there's no seal anyway. I've had the DS about a month or six weeks, and frequently change lenses, so it's no surprise to me that there's a speck or two of dust that needs to be removed.
