nice.
holy dust bunnies. are you sure that's in the lens?
take an out of focus shot, severely stopped down, of a white wall, and then open the file in PS, w/ the contrast cranked. that will show what sensor dust you have (assuming you have a clean lens to shoot through).

If the lens has hit the dirty floor that many times, I'm sure the sensor looks like a used lint roller at this point too.
Mirror up and blow, yo.
I need to go get a sensor cleaning kit, it's dirty as fvck too. Urban exploration is not kind to unsealed cameras and lens changes.
The Pentax was $275 for the whole setup...I'm kinda pissed that the company I bought it from (KEH) didn't tell me this particular body didn't have MLU, though. The mirror slap is insane...firing the shutter with the lens off creates a large gust of wind.
You wanted them to list all the features the camera didn't have? 
Even just a blower will do wonders. Lock the mirror and go to to town on it. The Giotto Rocket blower works really well.
You have a blower and you use it every few lens swaps.....right?
I just noticed when I was looking for a used one that most people noted if it didn't have MLU, as 90% of the 6x7s built did.You wanted them to list all the features the camera didn't have?
I have a Rocket Blower that I use fairly often, but it's of no help by now I'm afraid.
Did my first print off the Pentax today, is of a homeless (I assume) guy on the lower Haight that made me take a picture of him. The detail is astounding...I really want to do a 16x20 and go back there to give it to him. Also need to locate a neg scanner at school.
