D600 Sensor Dirt

I really need to clean the sensor in my D600!

 

This is image number 5548. To be honest, in 'normal' photos, only the largest of the dust/dirt/oil spots are visible and need editing out. I have never done this with either of the two DSLRs I have owned before so I don't know if this is particularly bad or perfectively normal for over five and a half thousand shots.

 

I got this by pointing my camera at a patch of blue sky, focusing as close as possible and stopping down to f/22. In the tone curve panel in Lightroom, pull the 3/4 point in the curve (probably the wrong terminology) right down to the bottom and all that dirt is revealed.
