It seemed much worse with this lens than with either the Minolta or Leica optics. And I used it with the recommended hood. I can recall posting something about it on a mailing list several years ago, and being told to look for a Contax lens hood which would fit but was a bit longer and might control the flare a bit better. I never followed up on the advice. Dan C.
