Hi list,

I own a 30D and have a strange problem.

It seems there is dust on my sensor (or lens but I doubt that since I have the problem with different lenses) but only when I'm using long exposure. When t<1s theres no problem but if t>1s the image is "dirty".

Also when I'm using studioflash (Elinchrom) the dirt (it looks like a worm) is visible but using my EX380 there is no problem.

I wonder how this is possible.

Tnx for your help in advance.

Marc

I think you might check the EXIF data to see which apertures you used. A lot of dust specks are not really noticeable if you use a lens wide open, but since the dust resides on a surface a ways in front of the actual sensor, small apertures (leading to a large depth of focus) will show that dust.

With a large and powerful studio flash I'm sure you're using smaller apertures than with the 380, and when your camera is on a tripod you'll tend to stop down as there is no shutter speed (shake) penalty.
