So I had 3 dark spots on the image, that were located in the same place. I could see them, while stopped down do f22. And tried that with 2 different lens. So it was clearly the OLPF or the sensor itself.
Now I cleaned the OLPF and cant see the spots anymore. So I am glad with the results, but there are 3 things you need to consider, if you are going to clean OLPF or sensor:
1. You need to go with the "dry swab" immediately after the "wet swab". And I mean immediately. That is because, the wet thingy dries up very fast and then it leaves some smudge marks.
2. No matter how much time and effort you spend - the glass will never look 100% clean. There will always be some left-over smudges, but as long as they dont show in the image - that is ok!
3. Cleaning the OLPF is alright, but I would never clean the sensor itself. I would look for a service center.
