I have just purchased Q2 for few days and have taken some photos in the night. Everything is fine except reflections found in some night shoots. The 'reflections' appeared frequently.

I used to install a filter for lens protection and try 2 different type ( both are B+W, 010 and UV/IR cut) the issue remains. Any recommendations to solve the issue or other filters as I prefer to have for protection?

Thx!

I had this occur as well, usually in low light. didn't notice it at first as illustrated in this image. I first noticed this phenomena with my M9 and 28 Summicron, shooting at night.

guess the sensors are so sensitive that they can sometimes capture reflections on the filter?

You should never use an IR cut filter on a current digital camera – IR and UV are cut by a filter over the sensor of all digital cameras.

In any case, sometimes you have to remove your clear filter if you get reflections like this.
