Good idea except that the reflections were faint enough for me probably to
not to have noticed it in the SLR - when looking through the viewfinder I
was more concerned with framing and the exposure.  The meter in a F4 is
pretty bright and is does render much in the viewfinder as not visible in
that sort of lighting.

Besides, I'm not sure I could have avoided it if I'd seen it anyway (apart
from the brain clicking and removing the UVA filter).

I took all of these shots to my local Pro shop - It had all of them stumped.
Collectively they,ve got ~100 times the photo exp that I have.  They
forwarded the slide to Leica Aust - who also weren't sure.  Leica Germany
came back with an answer about the same time that I tested UVA filter on and
off.

Peter Zak
