This really doesn't make sense. Because lens only magnify the target it aims at, but NOT the sensor behind it. Regardless the subject of the shoot, the sensor and its relative size to the dust on it remain the same. This means the dust should look exactly the same as shooting with any other lens. If any dust that gets enlarged, it would be the dust on and around the subject you are shooting at. And that, you can't really get rid of through the ultra-sonnic vibration of the 'auto-sensor-cleaner'. Just my two cents...

That's exactly my experience with the lens: frustrating in practice but it produces unsurpassable photos when used correctly. Your review pretty much nails it.
