I rarely mind flare in my images; OK, I'll admit it, I'm a flare lover....

Wee, excellent use of flare! It's not just there; it *makes* the photo. As an aside, I think your son has outgrown that study desk. Time for an upgrade!

Interestingly, these 20mm or thereabouts lenses all have this red ring. The Leica 19, OM 21/3.5, CV 20/3.5. What's up with that?

The red ring only appears at full aperture. It will disappear once it is stopped down.
Thanks for pointing out. Will get him a proper study chair and table.

FWiw I think the Oly 21 red ring is alot nicer than that cv 20 red ring... ;-P

must be an aberration from reflection off the edge of an internal element or something like that.

Not as defined but I reckon it suits the picture.

One thing that impressed me about this shot is the quite good veiling glare performany of the rokkor wide open. lesser lenses would have cried pitifuly in this situation methinks

If there is, it is well hidden. However, I see a nice diffraction star.

both edean and helimat's shots show no flare, but rather a nice sunstar. Not quite the same thing as flare but nice shots regardless.

Edit: actually, not much in all four of the most recent shots. Just to clarify (stolen from wikipedia):

Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens.

Great examples on the page I stole this from here.

Here's some B&W flare. Shot with my Bronica and 65mm lens
btw, the bright white mark on the far right isn't flare, it's a crease in the negative that I didn't bother to touch up
