Re: Source of flare?

Take a look at my response above, where I show a pair of images that have exactly the same kind of spot, and another pair taken of the same subject in the same location (but different lighting) that doesn't show the spot. And I'm using neither a filter nor a hood, and I'm in a room with subdued lighting for both sets.

If this is lens flare, then it looks to me like it's caused by the lens internal design rather than a filter or other external bit.

Not that I think this is the problem but I assume your not tight up against the glass.
