I posted this thread a while ago but due to some new info I would like to re-assert it again. I noticed my EOS-3 body is quite sensitive to backlight entering the finder while it is exposed )not looking through it and no eyepiece shutter is used). I noticed the metering changes in wide boundaries (ranging from 1/3 to as high as 1, 1.5 stops). Being traditionally Minolta user I do not remember such sensitivity level of my 700si/800si bodies (if anybody here familiar with them). I just spoke with Canon authorized lab and they approved that EOS bodies (as well Nikon's) are built in the way that light sensitive (exposure metering) sensors are located in the way that light streaking the finder will directly hit the sensors influencing greatly the metering (hence the eyepiece shutter is the must), while he acknowledged that Minolta behalves more reliably in such situation. Any comments ?
