I could do without it.

Joe, it kinda looks as if you caught the full force of the sun reflected off the nearest shop window. Hard to miss it under those circumstances.

It looks like you've captured some of those elusive mind control rays.

I got the same effects with my MC version. It's because the chrome mount for filters/lenshood. Have to use a black mount uv filter (mc) to avoid that.

I've wondered about that. Those vintage chrome-mount filters look great on the retro cameras, but I suspected that shiny stuff on the business end of a lens was a bad idea. So you've actually experienced it?

 

[PICHA]

Yes, I did. It happens often with nightshots, even without lightsource in the field of view. But when you use a filter with black mount, it disappears.
