I use a Nikon D90 coupled with a 16-85 Nikkor lens fitted with a Nikon HB-39 lens hood. I have noticed when I use the camera in the upright position, if that is the corrct terminology, and use the built in flash, I get a small half round mark on the image, as is something is in the way, I am assuming it is the lens hood that is causing the problem as when I turn the camera around I get the same mark on the other side, and when I try with the hood off, it isn't there, so obviously that seems to be the problem. Anyone else noticed this, or is it just me? I could have understood it if I had been using a non-Nikon hood.

Get this with the D800 - removing the hood solves it.

Have a look in your user manual... :nuts:
Page 232 says something like...:
The flash may be unable to light the entire subject with the 16-85mm lens at ranges less than 2.0 m/6 ft. 7 in. ...
Am I the only one loving to read manuals? And I don't even have the D90?!

But then this thread wouldn't exist!
Others searching for an answer will now find, that the manual has some valuable info re. lenses, focal lengths and distance to subject, when using on-camera flash.
And I wouldn't have the pleasure of demonstrating my nerdy "read-the-manual-forward-and-backward" tendency!
