Whenever I get upset seeing little fuzzy black specks in my images and think about the spotting I'll have to do. It happens pretty regularly but I do change lenses a lot being a prime only user and I don't take any special precautions either. I have been cleaning my cameras and lenses using bottled nitrogen for a few years however it's become too expensive so now I've ditched it and reverted to pads etc. I find it a real PITA so now I'm looking now to buy a small compressor/drier so that I can get back to compressed air cleaning.
