I've noticed this kind of flare with a couple of lenses that were otherwise flare-proof and I suspect it's because the image of the sun is still within the lens' image circle but outside the film gate and is reflecting off something inside the camera body. In my case it's something in the mirror chamber, not sure what you'd call the space between the lens and shutter in a rangefinder camera. -- Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
