There is nothing wrong with any of your lenses, this has been said here already!
I don\'t get it.....
These silver particles are not particles of any kind attached to your glass. There\'s nothing inside!
If Nikon reps are reading these posts I bet they\'re having a lot of fun.
Do you really think that such huge and respectful company would messed these expensive lenses up to this extend?
Just \"load\" them with dirt, silver particles, dust or whatever you think it may be?
These \"things\" you\'re seeing are just reflections of internal wall coatings - black with some kind of glitter in there. That\'s Nikon\'s proprietary coating so they won\'t tell you what these little things are.
That\'s all it is! There\'s presence of it in 24-70mm f/2.8 and 14-24 f/2.8 lenses, just like in case of 70-200mm lens.
They are below the glass on the wall! They reflect the light you use to shine it inside (with a flash light or or something else).
Here are a few samples of 24-70 and 70-200mm lenses I own. (the pic of 70-200mm isn\'t the best but I can see a million of these little \"silver particles\" when shine the flash light inside.)

If this is correct (and I hope it is), the explanation is so straight forward. Why then does it take so long for Nikon to respond? It would have been easy, isn\'t it?
