YES!!!!!!! what causes? A cause of debate...Some say it's the silvered strip at the bottom of the viewfinder window any cure? Sort of...Take a fine-tipped marker pen and create a small black rectangle in the middle of the rangefinder illumination window - that ridged plastic thingy...Keep it centered, and keep it small to start with - very small, wider than high...It should help cut down on flare, although it will make the finder lines a bit harder to see clearly in some light....And, by the way, you can take it back off with - GASP - nail polish remover. Been there, done that, camera still okay. Good luck...
