I first thought it was the filter I had on the lens but I've since had flare without the filter. The lens shade was retracted (careless I know) which means that the whole of the front of the lens was in the sun and I would have expected the flare to cover the whole frame if the filter was at fault. If you look through the lens at about 15-20 degrees to the sun, the patch of light on the paint at the back of the lens is very bright. This is a latest generation Summicron.
