Hi all,

I currently only have a 17-55 attached to my D50 and I haven't taken it off since I first bought it.

Just wondering if the camera requires cleaning? Would there be dust inside even if I have never removed the lenses?

What cleaning stuff should I avoid using on a camera?

Thanks.

You should say you have the 18-55
Even you haven't change lens, dust is still get onto the CCD and it's normal.
You have to source the CCD cleaning stuff in Japan as Pec*Pad, Eclipse Fluid (Pure Methanol), A good and large size Air blower.

Possibly on both counts. Stop down to f/22 and take a picture of (blue) sky, then check the picture on your computer. It'll soon show up any dust bunnies.

Ta thanks guys, I'll do just that.
