The flare suppression is part of it, but its control of highlights is outstanding.

Might not matter to some but it made a huge difference to me. However absolutely nothing can touch the Noc for flare suppression. I never used a hood with mine and never regretted it once. In fact, if Leica would change the mount to allow focusing to 0.7m, I would switch back in an instant. John On 25-Nov-07, at 9:33 AM, Steve Unsworth wrote: > Geoff, do I need the difference?
