Hi,
I have just bought a new Horseman SW617 with a 90mm Schneider lens, and it appears that there is grit/dust within the lens, and on the shutters. I haven't even used the lens yet, but when I open the shutters and peer through the lens with a torch I can see lots of very scary looking particles.
This is my first foray into medium format, so am unsure whether this is normal, because my SLR lenses all contain a certain amount of crap floating around inside (but they're zoom lenses.) With the Schneider being a prime lens I assumed it to be sealed.
Is this something to worry about?
Thank you.
