Thanks for all the replies. I do have a clear filter on the lens as I am often around flying pebbles. I just find it very odd this only occurs in a particular focal range. And always exactly in the middle. Canon is now suggesting it is lens flare? I have never experienced purple lens flare. Could be. But is lens flare that consistent with where it shows up and at what length?

Maybe not related but some older lenses have problems with digital sensors and reflections causing a central hotspot when stopped down.
