500mm f/8 1/125
I love this lens. Couldn’t be happier with it.
Tested out macro on random bedroom stuff and blown away by how sharp it is.
Can’t wait for a green light night in ClearOutside to getting nebulae shots.
In the market for a star tracker. What make and model do the Jedi recommend?

I recently noticed a tiny dust spot on my Sony A7 IV sensor. After several tries with a blower and the camera’s built-in sensor cleaning, it’s still there. I can only see it on a white wall or a clear blue sky, and mainly around f/10 and smaller apertures. In normal photos, I don’t notice it at all.
I shoot wildlife and frequently switch between my camera body and a Tamron lens and my Sony 200-600mm. I just ordered a larger backpack that will finally let me store the camera with the 200-600 attached, but until it arrives I still have to transport the body and lens separately and do lens changes more often.
I don’t plan on doing wet sensor cleanings myself. If the sensor ever needs cleaning, I’d always take it to a camera shop.
I’m also probably overly sensitive when it comes to my camera gear, so even a tiny dust spot tends to bother me more than it probably should.
In my situation, would you have the sensor professionally cleaned already, or would you simply keep shooting and wait until the spot becomes noticeable in real-world photos? How often do you guys get tiny dust spots like this from normal lens changes?
