Hi

Need some help with guessing what caused some highlight ghosts. I was trying out some new film and managed to capture a specular highlight ghost that somewhat puzzles me. I used a 4X5 camera with a 150 mm lens and a shutter speed around 1/8 to 1/30 sec. All the exposures I made with two different kinds of film showed the same problem so I'm quite certain that it has nothing to do with the films. My best guess is that the highlight managed to somehow reflect itself off of the rear of the lens? Please have a look at the attached thumbnail and tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Ola

Yup, it's an internal reflection.
