It is not the sensor!

Image on the left taken with the Canon M6 with 18-150 + Raynox at f/40. Image to the right with Canon M6II with 18-150+Raynox at f/40.

Notice the striking similarity of the particulates?

Holy cow, f/40!!! Better take a swipe at your lens’ rear element.

Thanks R2. Out with the emery cloth and Brillo pads then eh?

Seriously, clean the rear element of your 18-150 lens. On a mirrorless camera the rear element is much closer to the sensor (focal plane) than on a DSLR.

Indeed, if the debris ( didn't like to say cr@p) is on the outside of the rear element it's going to eventually find it's way onto the sensor.If it's on the inside ...

Especially being so close to that hammering shutter!  I just hate dust.
