Dust is the obvious (and it doesn't seem to matter whether you are changing lens much either), but also droplet marks from breath or drying marks from excess cleaning fluid or the wrong type have been mentioned. What ever is happening of course it is there all of the time and only made more obvious with smaller apertures and plain tones. A CLEAN anti static brush and wet clean with just the correct amount of Eclipse fluid on the right size swab works fine for me.
