This week I have examples taken with my Summarit, which has a 
significant defect on the coating of the front element, and tends to 
flare (maybe because of this?). It flares easily, like on this (my 
alterate for the week):

And, even when it does not flare, it is not as sharp as other lenses, 
as can be seen in my official PAW. This picture should maybe have been 
in color, but I only had Delta 400. I overdeveloped the film (I wanted 
to salvage some pictures in it, so I pushed it), but it is amazing how 
you can correct with Vuescan and Photoshop:

Thanks for looking.
