[QUOTE="J-see, post: 391987, member: 31330"] Finding the angle the first time is hard but once you know how to trigger the effect it's easy to replicate. I'd be surprised if you see any of these leak shots taken with a long lens. It requires a certain curvature of the front glass which flattens out the longer lenses get. I have no short prime to test if I can do it with them too or if only zooms suffer the problem. Zooms have more glass elements which might it easier to occur. I tried it while switching to DX crop mode and the pronounced effect disappeared. While the veiling flare of the light still washes out the colors and contrast, by using only a part of the sensor, it fully washes out instead of the internal part blocking that light and creating a stronger effect. This time I used the 35mm prime and it occurred too. The only difference is that the flatter the front element, the closer to the light source I need to be. [/QUOTE]
