hey there
i recently bought a sigma 18-50 for my nikon d50 and promptly left the country for a week.
everything seems fine with it, but when i went out with my tripod for some longer exposures, a truly odd green splotch (i don't know what else to call it) started showing up. i'm attaching an image with one and a crop at 100% of the splotch alone.
the size and location of the splotch is not consistent. there were also a few images where i don't see one. i was shooting RAW, at ISO200, exposures in the 8-10 second range generally, but i can't find any relation to shutter speed or aperture settings as to the size/appearance/etc of the splotch.
any ideas what's going on here?
thanks
b
