A note on Optical Quality:

Rather than assume that it's common knowledge for any/every buyer of photographic gear...

Whenever anything contains any glass as part of its optical functionality, it should be noted that there may never be an instance where dust particles will not be visible at some small size within or between the optical elements used. Wheteher it's ultra-expensive high-end 'Pro' gear, or the consumer grade equipment used by most people, you will normally find that 'something' may be visible - even on a brand new and freshly opened product. You should not expect to find a dust-free anything, in terms of photo gear, unless it was manufactured by/for NASA and bound for use in space. If there is ever anything worth noting that's large enough in size that you could safely classify it as 'debris', I will clearly note in in the descriptions I provide.
