Does any one know what is causing this light reflection in the lens. What is the technical term for it? How can I avoid it in the future? Can I remove it in post? Just point me in the right direction so I can educate myself.
Yr lens probably has an aspherical glass, which needs a hood to shield it. I shoot with quite a few Voigtlanders, and i can tell you every time i go on set, I need some kind of shade. The wider the lens, the worse the spills
Almost all UV filters will give these nasty reflections. Unless they're super high end ones with coatings designed to avoid this problem. It's one of the reasons I never shoot with a UV filter on.. sure it gives protection, but the risk of reflections is not worth it for me.
