>>>
why would a Leica filter generate this problem, shot on a clear night so
higher contrast, tripod, cable release f2 and around 2s, product this
"effect" and no cheap-shit hoya/arrow/other filter ever give me such a
result?
<<<

Are the cheap-shit hoya/arrow/other filters on Leica lenses?  Perhaps the
problem is not that the Leica filters cause additional reflections, but
that the lower contrast of non-Leica lenses mask the extra reflections of
the cheap filters.
