Martin,
The 24 ASPH for the M is just about bullet proof when it comes to flare.

Subject: [Leica] Flare-resistant Leica wide angle lenses

In actual experience, which wide-angle lenses (for M, for R) are most
flare-resistant? I often am photographing against the sun or it is
oblique,
and, even using a lens shade, will have glancing light... Which of the
wide-angle lenses is most resistant to veiling flare? (Are there equally
good or better lenses from other manufacturers for their cameras?)
I use an R8, but was thinking that if an M lens were much better I would
think about shifting. With an SLR you can often see the problem in the
viewfinder.
Thanks,
 Martin Krieger
