Inquiring minds want to know. Nope. My HM is worse in this regard than my .72. I don't believe the flare has anything to do with the acceptance angle of the viewfinder. My understanding is that Leica changed the optical construction of the RF when they added the 28mm frame line - something about removing a condenser in the light path if I remember correctly. Since the optical construction of both the .72 and .85 RF's is the same, I'd expect them to flare equivalently. In my experience, they do :-( Paul Chefurka
