Hi there-
On my Nikon S3 2000 I tend to get a few photos a roll (1-2) with this odd lighting (see attachment). I recently fixed some light leaks in the shutter and nearest I can tell it's not those causing this. The lens used is a vintage Nikkor 50mm f1.4. The lens has a skylight filter on it. The lens coating on the rear element is partially gone (about 15% is missing in a patch).
So what do you think? A leak somewhere? Flare? Some other thing I have no idea about? Note that the odd "brightness" always seems to be roughly in the same spot and always horizontal across the frame.
thanks!
