From changing lenses in dry dusty conditions to doing so in clean humid conditions. Then it becomes a issue of what one shoots - if you notice - then try and remember when it may have occurred. I may not have changed a lens on the DMR for 3 weeks. But I also haven't shot a expanses of solid tone stopped down - then when I do - wow! where did that glob come from?
