[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 127988, member: 9240"] You and I have a history of seeing different shades of grey, and where you say "faulty" seals I would say "incomplete", with my varient being based on reasonable design. Say you perform a multi-second exposure with a ND400 or higher filter with an unprotected viewfinder and the sun shining directly into it and get leakage. I'm going to give the manufacturer a pass provided that under most other conditions things are operating fine and if the manufacturer dictates in user documentation that they expect the user to block the eyepiece when using a tripod and the operator not looking through the viewfinder (which Nikon does). In this case I would say that the leakage is not faulty since it only happens when the camera is being used outside of design specs. I'm not saying that I wouldn't prefer it otherwise, and that it shouldn't be reasonable to expect that this isn't [I]always[/I] a consideration. But to have it occur in certain extreme conditions is not something I'd ever label as "faulty" when the manufacturer has specifically dictated the use of a cover under the problematic conditions.
