I treat my equipment with care and was very surprised. I know it doesn't effect perfommance but it is maddening (and probably hurts resale value if I every wanted sell that is). Has anyone else had this issue? 5DMK2, | 50mm f1.4 | 24-105mm f4.0L | 100mm f2.8L | 100mm f2.8L | 70-200mm f2.8L | 70-300mm f2.8L IS | EF 2x II | EF 1.4 II | Kenko's | Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash | Canon 270ex II flash | Canon 430ex III flash
