I get the same thing every time I shoot "into the sun," using both
my Zero 2000 and my Leonardo 4x5. You're not alone! This has
been discussed on the list before, and I followed with great interest.
Nothing was really resolved (not that it should have been), but
some people said they got the effect, while others wondered how a
lens-less camera could possibly "flare." As a low-tech thinker, I
finally just figured it must be light somehow flaring as it hit the film.
I'm sure some of the more technically-savvy people on the list will
have a better explanation.

I've learned to like the effect, and now I "use" it. It could be pretty
annoying, though, if you didn't have some use for it. And always
shooting away from the sun would be pretty limiting.
