anyone ever get this? I was shooting our capitol today, it has a gold dome, and I noticed I had two domes in the shot. one was a reflection. I have a 4x4 polarizer, and a wide angle lens on, its not the 4x4. anyone know if the wide angles are known to cause reflections? or is it in the lens itself?

even hi dollar anti reflection coatings on lenses can't remove reflections coming in at hi angles to the surface. Hi angles lightrays are probably reflecting one or both of your accessory filters, which probably have little to no AR coatings on them. The test would be to remove one filter at a time and to check if the reflection is better or gone.
