It is shown with several concrete examples that the Dyer-Roeder approximation is valid in spacetimes which fulfill the condition that fluctuations in the expansion rate along a light ray locally cancels with the shear contribution to the redshift. This is the case for standard cosmological scenarios including perturbed FLRW spacetimes, N-body simulations and Swiss-cheese models. With another concrete example it is then illustrated that it is possible to construct statistically homogeneous and effectively statistically isotropic cosmological models which do not fulfill the condition. In this case, the Dyer-Roeder approximation is invalid. Instead, the mean redshift-distance relation can be described using a relation based on the spatial averages of the transparent part of the spacetime.

A First Observational Assessment of Cosmic Backreaction Over an Extended Redshift Range
First model-light constraints on Ω_R + 3Ω_Q from Pantheon+ and BAO reconstructions are consistent with flat FLRW yet too broad to exclude percent-level backreaction.

Cosmography for a General Spacetime Centred at Arbitrary Redshift
A general-relativistic cosmographic expansion centered at arbitrary redshift is derived and tested on void and overdensity LTB models, showing that its coefficients lose strict local meaning near density gradients.
