I mentioned this before I suspect there is batch issue relating to the 105E with dust seeming to migrate past the seals. I have used mine a lot on the beach, outside in relatively dusty conditions with no issues. The photos did make me look carefully at my 105E again and no issue. I have no qualms with returning my lenses to Nikon if there is an issue and in Australia the turn around can be very quick. With Sigma lenses I have exchanged about 4 Art lenses, tested in store 15 lenses with the 4 lenses I own.
