Anytime you change lenses, you open the camera to foreign matter unless you do it in a clean room...dont know of anybody that has one of those...

If you see it in the viewfinder its probably on the focusing screen, most of the time you can remove it using a blower, I know on my camera (Canon) I can drop the focusing screen to clean it if need be (i.e. the blower didnt do the job)

sounds like dust on the mirror or focussing screen. try blowing it out with a rocket blower or something similar.
