Looks like flare, very well controlled flare but. It's hard to tell but
looking as close as I can, I see what looks like a larger circle that's
also bluish, that extends about half the diameter of the really
noticeable spot that fades out rapidly. Maybe it's caused by an
internal reflection,
Another vote for flare - the spot seems to have a hexagonal shape to it
(at least I think I see a few angles in its shape) suggesting flare from
an element in front of the aperture. (Of course - if the lens has
rounded aperture blades that would not support this theory.)
