While this certainly makes sense, guys, I would note, as I believe Rob
Schneider already has, that in his M7 review Erwin Puts specifically states
that the anti-reflective coating does NOT completely eliminate flare.

I also wonder if this anti-reflection coating has already been
installed from the factory on the late model M6TTLs. Because both
M6TTLs that I bought last june do not have any flare. It would seem
quite likely because if they have had the coating from a year ago on
M7s that have been out in the field testing then it seems like a
discovery they would have put on the M6s as well.

Steve,

What you say makes sense to me. I haven't noticed flare, under normal
use, regardless of where the light is coming from, in either of the
M6TTLs (.58 and .72) that I bought new during the last 4 months. I can
cause the RF patch to white out ONLY if I deliberately position my eye
too far to the left or right of the viewfinder centre.
