I\'ve come across a few flare spots with various lenses. A pox on them. Found this flare spot with the Mamiya A 120/4, on a 5D2 with Mirex adapter. The flare spot, or hot spot, can bee seen fairly clearly in the gifs below. This might depend on magnification too. Note that this test was a high contrast scenario where the black subject is on a white background, a situation likely to provoke flare.
I\'d say this is a common problem when you shoot your subject with strong background lighting. (In your picture, it\'s possibly from the bottom) I usually use black cardboard to cover out of frame area.
