To remove the dust, you need to remove the lens and take it apart in a cleanroom. This will involve removing the sensor and cleaning both the sensor and lens, and then inspecting the lens for dust that is further in there, to the point you will have to take the whole lens apart and clean each dirty element. The use of a cleanroom is essential, since taking it apart anywhere else is likely to make the problem worse.

Generally speaking, if there is visible dust it is usually on the sensor or right in front of it. If the dust is somewhere else, it isn't as likely to affect the image but can stil do so if it is big enough.

To remove the dust, you will need to remove the lens and disassemble it in a cleanroom. You’ll need to clean both, and inspect all of the elements to do it correctly. ***CAUTION: Unless you can line up the sensor correctly, the image will never be 100% correct again. You are taking a risk by removing it, as it can/will permanently ruin the factory alignment!***

dust does NOT show in the lens, it's on the sensor

the rule for doing this is it has to be done in a absolultey clean room, or you could make it worse, and dust can get into other parts of the lens and make it worse
