I shone a halide desk-lamp through mine both ways, I'm now a little blind I think however I did spy with my working eye heaps of dust boulders and one small hair (which looked like a fungus filament but wasn't). However when I view it under normal light it looks fine (and so do the images that it makes on film). I don't believe that many photo enthusiast spec lenses are delivered completely free from dust even factory fresh (my new APO Leica lenses weren't) however finger prints and wipe marks shouldn't be tolerated. Are all your other lenses much cleaner than this 200?
