The attached photo was taken on a cloudy day last winter, yet there is flare visible at the top of the image. I have used a Heliopan UV filter, the regular one (not multi-coated), the lens was the latest Schneider apo Symmar L 150. I must admit I wasn't expecting this to happen, my 35 SLR lenses would have coped better with such conditions. Since I'm new to LF I wonder if this is normal? Should I invest in a compedium, or shade the lens with the darkslide during exposure?




Thanks!

p.s you are looking at a cropped image showing approx. 1/4 of the original.
