Any ideas? Is it dust that can be cleaned off, is it dust behind the AA filter, or what?  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Bob_A Cream of the Crop More info | Feb 08, 2012 00:45 | #8 With the f/16 image it looks more like a small drop of something (oil?) than dust, so I bet the blower isn't removing it. If you don't want to learn to do it yourself I'd take it to a good camera shop (not a Futureshop Bob

Try to wet clean it and see if that helps (or take to shop). Could be lubricating oil they use on the moving parts, but it looks interesting to say the least! It is definitely a drop of oil/lubricant, it will need a wet-cleaning.
