So I made a DIY pinhole lens for my 5DmkII. Since the aperture is essentially stopped WAY down, I am able to see dust on the sensor (I think). Are these black spots dust on my sensor? They have shown up in any picture until now.

The more you stop down the lens, the more the dust bunnies appear. 50D, 450D, 18-55mm IS, 30mm f/1.4, 60mm f2.8 macro, 100mm f2,

So I think they will be even more visible at the very small f-stop of a pinhole. I still think if a normal lens was used and a dust test was done, the dust will be seen in the same positions, but show up as light gray spots. 50D, 450D, 18-55mm IS, 30mm f/1.4, 60mm f2.8 macro, 100mm f2,
