Thanks, that gives me some good info to go with. I will let you know the
results after I get a filter and run a roll through.

Gene,
FWIW, I am using a modern UV filter on my TE.
Here is a portrait I made with mine at maximum aperture on, I think,
Fuji Reala. There is no Photoshop work other than levels and curves and
no unsharp masking applied. I think it hangs together pretty well.
Admittedly, this was not a worst case situation for flare, but I was
shooting into a big white overcast sky, which can sometimes cause problems.
