I guarantee the filter is causing them. I have had the same problem and so have had many others.<br /><br />Some filters show less reflection than others.<br /><br />Many examples can be found on Google: <br /><br />http://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/yk5008ea7a.jpg<br /><br />http://vvv.mokrakocicka.cz/gang/filtry_marumi_dhg_lens_protect.jpg<br /><br />http://www.stuartrichardson.com/ira-reflections.jpg<br /><br />http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s45/MilambarAP/Quays_Final.jpg?t=1304111892<br /><br />http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii222/ve2vfd/Misc/2008-04-2123-58-15.jpg<br /><br />(copy paste links in your browser if not clickable)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131515588069490622.post-28096603645553197882014-06-05T22:16:58.159+12:002014-06-05T22:16:58.159+12:00Thanks for pointing that out, blaming the "ba...Thanks for pointing that out, blaming the "bad" filters I find hard to accept.

Not when there are no lights near. These are reflections.<br /><br />I also find it hard to believe how soft the 20mm is at f8. I can see on your pictures it also has a filter.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
