Doesn't effect the pictures, so why worry?

Scratches on the lens body don't affect pictures either.... but i don't want them if possible. ;)

Tons of dust affects at least image contrast - and so MTF.
Few ~30 dusts specs behind this big frontlens will have no real impact I guess. Much different on microscopy lenses :-)

Can confirm, after a year of ownership from new I have several spots of dust. It's just started to become visible in very small aperture photos.

There's several tutorials on Youtube on how to remove the front of the lens and clean it up. It looks quite straight forward; 3 screws only.
