Prudence suggests dismantling the OIS 5.0 capturing headinverting it, and blowing it on the undersurface with compressed air, and then checking it with a flashlight, re-assemble, shoot a crisp Grant, shoot a dilated eye. This hasn't cured the problem. Does anyone have any experience at dismantling the lens system,below the digital camera to get to a fleck that is on the superior surface, of the first condensing lens?I know this is a bit of a 'Hail Mary' before I send it off to MERGE for an exploratory, or sending Mick a 911 to stop bymy office for a look see.
