EF 16-35mm F/4.0 L - dust, right..?

I'm probably just paranoid about this second hand beauty I've bought. But is this only dust inside the lens on the edge of that inner element?

Despite my picture not showing it clear, the spots are all around the edge of the element

Hope so...

Kind regards,

Koen

Yeah, don't worry about it. Looks like typical dust/micro material from use. It won't effect your images. Great lens--one of my all-time favorites.

You won't be disappointed, it's a very nice lens to use with any Eos camera.

Do use it on analog and digital Eos bodies.

Ps: (dutch is a bit easier to explain)

hou het wel even in de gaten of het niet meer wordt. zou zonde zijn als het toch schmmel of een ander probleem

De achterste lens groep is namelijk een gelijmde setje lensjes als ik me niet vergis.

.....Of course I'm out of my mind. It's dark and scary in there.....
