And I did have the UV/IR filter on.... ( M8 camera.....) And the sun, or rather white wall reflection thereof, was in the shot..... In doing some more thinking, maybe Geoff did hit on the problem.... reflection by the B+W 486 filter..... I will try to post something later to get a better response..... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net Have you checked for other possible contributing factors? Dirty front element or filter? Filter quality (if fitted)? Reflections into your shot from another source? The inside of the (extended) lens hood? My guess is gruk on the front optical surface. Worst case there is damage to the front element coating but finger grease is much more likely. Maybe post a sample shot?
