In my Lens

[Madfos]

There's a tiny dust-like speckle in my lens, is it a large dust or is normal?

my lens is AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II

Very normal. All lenses that are used outdoors eventually get some dust inside. The lens can't focus on it so it will be invisible in your images.

I wouldn't worry about it. As fmw says it will not be visible. Normal use may move the dust to the edge of the element anyway. I have succeeded in moving dust specks from the centre of a lens by simply tapping it, although I'm not sure I'd want to try that with a kit lens. But again it's not going to make any difference to the images.

In the worst case scenario, what if there are too much dust in the lens, not on the lens?

send it off to be cleaned

We understood that you meant in rather than on the lens. You said there's a "tiny dust-like speckle" - if so, that couldn't possibly be described as too much. Although if you really want to pay to remove something that won't make any difference to your images, that's up to you
