That's a lot of of axis light coming at us from top right but still... its a Summicron and not a Summilux. If it is also in the neg I would shoot a short roll with bright lights coming at you off axis like that and see if you can duplicate it again. If not it is freak thing with the lens or processing or film that won't happen again or often. That looks like a lot of light bouncing off your lens shade assuming you were wearing one, if not you should have, if yes, take it off! Mark Rabiner
