So... I was cleaning my lense... and notice that this one speck wasn't coming off. As I got closer I realized that it was INSIDE my lense. I have no idea how it got there, but it is. Does anyone know how I would go about getting that out? Do I have to take it to a service center, or can I do it myself? What?

Thanks for all of your help. :)

Jeremy

Cut yourself a couple of 1/4 square pieces of post it notes and stick to the front of your lens...take a photo...then decide if you really need to worry about a silly dust speck inside a lens.

Way more important stuff to worry about than a speck of dust inside a lens...trust me. I've seen some glass that looked like you could plant corn in the dust on it...and it still took flawless pictures...
