having an issue with my lens...
...My 18-55 kit lens for my d40 has these black circles that come up in almost every picture that i take. I don't know what the issue is. No matter how much I clean the lens(inside and out), they will not go away. Can someone help me? I'm getting very frustrated and I don't know if I should purchase another one.

Maybe the back end of the lens? Post a pic that has the black spots so we can see what it looks like.

Ok. Are you feeling generous enough to share your cleaning techniques for free? 
If not that's ok. Only reason why I ask is because I'm unemployed...not to mention broke. 
fucking sucks.

Its not any special technique, its just tricky and tedious, and you cant be afraid to mess up, cause if you do then the camera can be more messed up than a dirty sensor. I was nervous to do it at first but found I have a good eye and steady hands for it.
