To produce flare sun must come close to one of the rectangle corners, and the flare happened high, in the mountains, so far. In the first two examples sun light was on lens front element, in other two examples I do not remember. I do not have flare problem with my 24/2.8 ASPH, and sun can be on front element on that lens. I wonder, if the old type of hood can be better, for 35/2? Thanks, Victor >Subject: Re: [Leica] Victor photos >Well, you got quite a collection going! >I think any lens can be made to flare.
