Do either have warranty? don't let dust disuade you. Canon 50D - 17-55mm F2.8 IS - 300mm F4L IS - 70-200mm F4L IS - 50mm F1.8 - 580EX II & 430EX - Full Gear Listing

Otherwise don't worry about the dust. I have some specks on my 40D's mirror that are visible through the viewfinder. Bugged me at first but now I don't even see them.

May 19, 2009 14:53 | #8 Thanks guys! I'm very happy with the purchase. I ask for the $848.00to be lowered to $780.00 plus Hoya HMC SUPER Multi-Coated UV Filter instead of Tiffen and plus original hood. Tried it and it is great. Now i gotta to have a prime lens maybe Canon 85mm 1.8, but first, I need to sell my the Canon 28-135mm so I can have a budget for the prime lens. Again thank you for advices and your time.

You can easily clean off the mirror with a blower or lens cloth, without messing anything in the camera up. Canon 20D
