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

[Allen Graves <ahgraves@prodigy.net>]

I've been constantly amazed at the 24mm lens. It just doesn't seem to 
show flare, even under tough conditions. It beats my Nikon 24 f2.8 
(supposedly one of Nikon's best lenses) on this respect by a wide 
margin.
