Hi John, Thanks for the info on the Nikon lens (105mm macro) the orange spot is a soft colouring as you say in the center of the lens but not perfectly round as would be the case if the Aperture diaphragm was the main cause.

Is this 'orange spot' a general soft colouring towards the centre of the image? Cheers John Hi All, Thought all Kodak 14n users would like to know this. I have just returned a brand new Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro lens due to the fact it produces a orange spot in the center of any shot taken (regardless of aperture). (this was checked on two 14n bodies) This is the 2nd lens returned to the same camera store here in Johannesburg (the other by another 14n user) and would appear to be a common problem according to the camera shop . Non of my other Nikon lenses have this affect. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem with the Nikon 105mm Macro lens?

I have the Sigma. Unbelievably I've seen the same thing - an orange spot in the centre. I was photographing a CD case with a red label. At first I thought it was the oils in the plastic. I switched to a Nikon 85mm and it vanished. This was on a D100. Maybe it's the way macro lenses are built?
