Winsor,
If I understand your question, I've locked up the mirror and looked around
the mirror box. Nothing. I've set the shutter on bulb and fired a few
rounds looking for hanging debris. Again nothing.
Since I believe it only happens with one of my lenses, I am now suspicious
that I'm getting some sort of ghost image or flare off a fungus-scarred
portion of the rear lens element. Trouble is, I'm not learned enough to
know whether this is possible.
Thanks for asking. Any ideas?
Joel
