Default Dust in my new lens?
Question for you all. I just bought the nikkor 50 mm 1.8/d lens 2 days ago- brand new. Yesterday I was taking some photos of my son and there was some bright light behind him. When I looked on the lcd, there was a white spot on part of the photo. I have the Nikon d300 and can upload a photo if need be. The thing is, I have never had this problem with my other lenses. Could it be that it was too bright? Or could the lens be bad? Or perhaps I need my sensor cleaned? Thanks for any insight.

As long as your front element is clean, it's much more likely your sensor.
