[QUOTE="J-see, post: 391843, member: 31330"] It's night here so that won't work and I haven't seen much sun during the last weeks. I never had any problem and had to do effort to replicate it but then again, I close to never shoot below a light source. I'm curious if it is zoom lens specific. The same lens at 24mm doesn't have the problem so it has to do with the position of the glass inside in combination with the stray light that hits. If it was the cam, holding a piece of paper above the lens front should make no difference. It does get rid of the problem so it is simply freaky light behavior. Even with a hood, it's still possible the light hits the inside of the hood and the lens catches that. If you check the video, you see moments where his hood is pretty lit inside. A lens hood protects the lens from stray light but if you tilt the lens upward, you shorten the coverage of the top of the hood protecting the bottom of the lens. Then at the right angle the light has an open path inside. [/QUOTE]
