Perhaps I'm old school but ISO 4000 for 10 seconds is asking for trouble anyway.

Yeah totally rediculous but when he was shooting under flash at iso400 for 1/125th, its a vaguely realistic scenario.

The thing is, he was holding it right next to a huge lamp. Try it again outdoors on a sunny day imo with the ISO200/400 settings as that's more of a real world scenario.

What if you're working in a studio though. Again, ive never come across it and it's an extreme unlikelyhood, just an interesting read.

Even if you're working in a studio, you're not going to hold your camera centimetres from the flash. I can understand why he did it, but imo he should have done some a more "normal" distance from the flash too, to see what it would actually be like when using it as opposed to an extreme situation.

Not good, but he is still putting it in an extreme scenario - full power large flash about 6 inches from the surface.

Even doubling the distance, or increasing to a foot would cut that leakage to practically nothing.

Would be interesting to test my couple of viewfinders equipped Canon/Sigma lenses....

I may have a look into this myself when i get use of the studio next.

Will try on a d3x and 23-70 2.8.



Ive used the 24-70 2.8 a lot and cant say ive had any issue with this happening.

Ive got the 24-70mm and havent noticed anything in normal useage, not tried under studio lighting yet. May set up some strobes and give it a whirl when I next need them.

The light levels that he is using are vers specific still its is a bad problem for a expencive lens and quite honestly a shonky fix to the problem!
