Dust on my inside elements....

I have the Canon EF 50mm 1.8 a great little lens, but it appears to be
suseptable to dust intake. Its only a few months old, and I have some
serious dust in there. My shots taken all the way open seem to have a
bit more hightlight bloom than before.

Is there anything I can do, short of buying a new one?

Thanks...

Local camera store any help? Where did you get it? Should be under warranty.

And: Thank heavens this is one of the very cheapest good lenses......

You're imagining the "bit more highlight bloom."

The dust isn't doing anything, other than causing you concern.

Warranty covers dust?

Is the dust on the lens or the inside of the camera? If not the lens, this
won't help you

Well, you haven't seen how much dust there is. Its quite a bit. The
cantrast would definately lower, and I could easily see a highlight
flare.

Warrantee sounds unlikely, as I certainly put the dust there.

Looks like I just need a new one.

dang.

A while back a friend of mine mentioned he needed a new computer.

I asked why he thought that.

He replied, "Because it's full."

I told him he was right.

He needed a new computer.

I want glass between my sensor and the subject, not a bunch of crap. I
was dreaming of someone pulling one of these apart at home with some
success, but that seems unlikely. I would be willing to try anything
risky, cause this thing won't pull much on ebay because, unlike dan,
most folks want nothing to do with a dusty lens.

Does the dust affect the resolution of the lens?

Is the lens/camera still under guarantee?

Where have you been using the camera?

How much to replace the lens?
