Most lenses get dust inside during use. But you would need to have a significant amount of dust inside to notice any image degradation. See: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2011/08/the-apocalypse-of-lens-dust ...just something to consider if you really do love your lens.

Frankly, I never had a dust problem with my 17-55. Even if there were dust inside, I probably wouldn't mind it per what lensrental has already said about it.
