I never have the sun in or near the frame. I just have had an impression that 50/2R has more veiling flare in some light situations than other "standard" lenses such as Leica-R (60/2.8), Kyocera-Zeiss (50/1.7, 50/1.4, and 60/2.8), and Nikkor (50/1.8). This is not an objective argument, but my wife has the same feeling. I also know that 50/2R gives satisfying images in other situations. - -- Mikiro Mori Strasbourg, Europe http://www.members.tripod.com/arbos3/cigogne/index.html
