Unless it’s affecting your pictures do absolutely nothing and enjoy your lens. 👍🏻

This is my mindset. As long as my photos are clean, I don't care what's in there. Too many battles to fight in life...can't bother with that one.

Along same lines, my wife once badly scratched the center of the lens on an X30 I used to have. When she showed me, my first thought was "I'm going to have to Photoshop that out of every photo I ever take with this camera from now on". But as big as the blemish was, it never showed in any photo so it became a non-issue. That's how I feel about dust...if I can't see it in photos, I don't care.

A scratch on the lens front element probably won't affect an image but dust inside the lens could affect image contrast.

Naturally, depending on the amount of dust, most people may not notice the loss of contrast but take an identical picture with a clean lens and the difference is obvious.

Where the dust is located also has a lot to do with how it affects an image.
