Anyone know how much a shutter replacement costs? Where in the central coast of California would be a good place to take it?

Sensor looks fine except one small dust piece which I will clean off with either air or a wet swab with a proper cleaning kit.<div></div>

Inside camera<div></div>

Another pic<div></div>

Trying to attach pic

New info: 1. The reflections go away ( or at least are less visible as the f number is increased). 2. In all the previous images that I thought the reflection was not there....maybe it is there but just not as noticeable or hidden by the composition of the picture. Much more clear in pics with clear backgrounds....like open skies. 3. There is a small piece of metal at the base of the shutter that is not flat with the plane of the shutter. See attached pic. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

<p>1. Visually inspected the sensor and it looked fine. I will clean it now as well.<br> 2. I agree i think it is an internal light source, maybe live view. Will experiment with that.<br> 3. With or without filters the reflection still appears in the same way as described above.</p>

By same I mean...the exact same. Brightness, position with regards to the camera, color of the reflection, with no regard to zoom meaning it stays unchanged when using different focal lengths (there is no 'zooming' in closer to the reflections.... looks the same with any lens. There is nothing visibly wrong with the viewfinder and t You cannot see these reflections while taking the picture through the viewfinder. If I take a landscape shot the arcs are as seen in the samples. If I rotate the camera 90degrees ccw the reflections are rotated 90degrees ccw also. Indoors the problem does not occur. I don't know if there is a threshold light level that makes the reflection show up. If there is I haven't figured it out. Thanks for the ongoing input!

<p>thanks for the responses. Nothing visible inside the camera when shooting 'B'. The reflection is exact same everytime. Only noticed it go away on some shots at f22. Definitely not a lens issue. Both lenses work fine on my D3. I think it might be a shutter issue or possibly the way the camera controls aperture. Will try to post some more examples. </p>

Both lenses have UV filters. Will try without.
