Possible reflection of the rear element on the sensor.I had that problem with a 60mm Elmarit-R and the old Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6 USM L. This is now being addressed by various manufacturers with the refiguring of ghost free coatings, or "Ghostless coating".

Every now and again, I get a blue "flash" or bright spot, in the center of my photos.
See: http://www.main.furnfeather.net/BluDot.htmThis has occurred, infrequently, with the Canon 20D, 30D and with the R8+DMR.
It seems to be lens independent, as well. I notice it most with the 80~200/4 Vario, but then, that's the lens I use the most. It has occurred indoors and out, with no correlation to the use of the lens hood. Sometimes, just shooting another frame (as I did, today, on the tripod) produces a shot without the Blue Dot Special.
My questions are: 1) am I the only person in the world, to have this problem? 2) If no, does anybody here know what causes it? And, 3) if "yes", how do I prevent if from happening again? Thanks for any and all help!
