I have a feeling this is probably very much a beginner's question. But I'm a beginner, so I'm gonna ask it.
I recently got my hands on a Pentax K1000, and just picked up film for it today. However, before I take any pictures with it , there's one thing I'm slightly worried about. When I look through the viewfinder, there are a lot of little black flecks. I'm assuming dirt? Not near enough to prevent me from seeing what I'm photographing, but more than enough to be distracting and mildly annoying.
I can handle distracting and annoying, so long as it isn't going to be affecting the pictures. Is the dirt only in the viewfinder, or is it somehow going to cast a shadow on the film when I take a picture? Will there be a bunch of little black specs when I get the film developed? If so, is there any way to get rid of the dirt?
