Yes, flare can be a problem if you are not careful, I should have said
that it is a terrific portrait lens *unless* you are shooting backit
subjects :-) Also interesting is that many people quite like the results of
portraits using the 3200 films. People comment that the grain gives a
'pleasing' effect which probably is due to its ability to remove fine
wrinkles. Using the combination of the 85/1.9 and 3200 film there aren't
alot of times when you need a flash.
