problem with something some dust/hair

[loki1982]

For about 3 months now when I use my canon mp-e 65 macro lens their is what looks like a small hair in the top right corner of my pictures. I have looked all over both ends of the lens. I have cleaned both end. I have looked at the sensor and everything I can think of and I cant find anything.

Things I have done:
Tried another lens and dont see the hair. I figure this rules the lens as the problem. Although maybe only the macro lens picks it up because its small?

Clean both ends of the lens.

Im very new to the clean aspect and Im wondering if I am missing something obvious. Any ideas?

Oh and when I look through the normal view finder I dont see it, but when i use the live view lcd screen I can. Its not just a display problem because it comes out on the picture.

several months after i purchased my dslr, i saw a black dot on the lower left side of the lcd. sometimes it is particularly dark and sometimes just a trace. it appears likewise in the printed copy of the photographs. i've cleaned my lenses but not the camera fearing i might damage the sensor. the automatic sensor cleaner of the camera does not seem to work, either.

Something on your sensor. Check it again, or have it cleaned by someone who *really* knows what theyre doing. You dont wanna screw anything up when it comes to the sensor.
