Maybe the flare does help a bit ... creates the feeling of a smoky bar, even that you have not been allowed to smoke in bars in Oslo for 18 months now :-) The "spot" was a 40 watt bulb in a frosted lamp. It was right above them. I had actually asked them to set up the "scene" around a light. There weren't that many of them and the light falls off to flat flat flat if you are a few feet away from the lamp. There aren't that many. Now and then I get a feeling that I should dump my old Summicron and replace it with newer glass. This one is from 74 or so. Then I decide to give it a try, just to make sure I want to get rid of it, and it usually does well. So I still conk it around. I'd never be able to sell it. It looks like crap.
