Help identifying problem please!

just a quick update - I'm waiting for my latest batch of film to come back from the lab so I'll have a bit better idea when it does, especially as I've made some notes on weather, temperature, direction of light etc.
One question that did spring to mind this morning was: Is it possible to damage the lens coating by shooting into strong light/ sunlight?
 
I've seen this as well with my C330s & 80mm. Using the lens shade eliminated the problem.

Tony (there was a url link here which no longer exists) posted by Cheryl Jacobs illustrates clearly your exact problem, in her case the Bronica 75mm lens is Multicoated.

The earlier lenses for the Mamiya C cameras especially the silver ones were only single coated and quite prone to flare, most of the later black ones were multi-coated.
