BMCC rust on bottom? On 2 camera bodies...

Mine has the same thing.

My BMCC does not have this issue

Hi,

When the camera bodies are sandblasted, some of the sandblasting materials get deposited behind and because they are blind holes, may not get cleaned away properly. This is purely cosmetic and nothing to worry about. It's definitely not rust or battery fluids.

It's tricky but you should be able to clean it off if you find a tool fine enough to get into the holes.

Thanks Kristian for stopping the madness!

not madness, more like awareness, and it is all thanks to BMD for allowing us to openly discuss their products here.

Thanks Kristian for the final word on the BMCC "Weird Stains" I'm satisfied with your explanation.


Thanks again.

Mines exactly the same too. Any word on what it might be?

Do we really have a problem we need to worry about?

This. Is. Really. Not. An Issue. Period.

Really.
