[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 165644, member: 9240"] I've gotten bleeding with every camera I have, so I'm surprised you don't have it with the D5100. I don't get it every time, just if I have direct light hitting the viewfinder. I don't necessarily have to cover it, only block that light source. Perhaps you've just been fortunate with the D5100 to have never had a direct light source hit the viewfinder? Stick an ND filter on there and shoot with the sun at your back and I bet it leaks. ;) I hate using the cover because it's such a pain to pop on and off, especially in situations where it can fall somewhere only to be swept away (water, docks, etc.).I'll usually just cup my hand over it (not touching the camera) or use a baseball cap.
