Light at certain oblique angles hits be lens edge and reflects back onto the film. I had a Canon wide-angle lens whose flare was remarkably improved by correcting this. You might ask a knowledgeable lens repair person about this. Or if your lens is under warranty have Leica look at it. Michael Volow (mvolo@acpub.duke.edu) Durham, NC
