<p>Francisco, Thank you. That was incredibly helpful and informative. The mystery is solved!</p>

<p>Thank you very much Francisco... I can't quite wrap my head fully around it, but it sure makes a bit more sense now. </p>

<p>I really dont think its spill just because of how perfectly vertical the cutoff is. Here's another example of the same thing with no wall for the flash to reflect off of... this one isnt mine. <br>

<p>So I've noticed this with a lot of hassy photos. When a flash is too close to the edge of the frame it makes this trademark flare of sorts. I'm just wondering what exactly is causing this... where and how exactly is the light bouncing to do this? WIth other cameras and strong backlighting, you can sometimes see when the light overpowers the anti-halation later and bounces back, but the flare looks very different is is always closer to the edge. I'm just curious as to what exaclty is going on. Here's a link to an example from a roll I developed last night. <br /> <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5159681081_7505fcd8a3.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="500" /></p>
