Is that amount of reflection liable to cause that big of a burn on the film.?I have checked the curtains for pinholes and the viewfinder for leaks to the focal plane and this seems not to be the case. The hood might be the cause. Look at the metal ring how wide and reflective it seems (under room lamp):

You can't be certain of that. An small light leak might leave no trace in the fraction of a second the film passes by when winding, but it can expose the film if some time passes between shots.The curtains are 100% light tight. Else there would had been marks on the negative in the space between the frames while advancing the film in sunlight with the lens uncovered.

I'd also explore internal reflections. Has the blacking come off of the inside of lens or camera somewhere?
Shooting wide open does make lens flare worse, but shouldn't lead to something like this. Especially as the rest of the image doesn't look terribly flare-y.
I am running a new one now. Fingers crossed! Pity that my son was let down badly by his first go with film.Film? Have you shot another roll to eliminate that?
Thank you, I will try that. Looking through the lens I can see no shinny spots. I thought that it could had been oil leaked inside the optical path, but the lens is absolutely clean.When looking through the lens is there any bright shinny spots along the edges of the lens? The lens should be black along the edges of the elements and the spaces between them.
If this roll comes back like the first post a picture of the camera/lens combo from the back with the back open, the shutter open on B, aperture at f1.4, pointed a a well lit light colored wall.
Fortunately I can bulk load very short rolls for testing.
This is the primary reason to have a bulk roll setup.
