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

These shots are great. It really shows that imperfection can be perfection when used appropriately. Keep up the good work people

Very nice. A very unusual type of flare, too.

weekh wins for freakiest flare so far. Don't think I'd ever seen flare even close to that.

Here's a totally uninteresting shot but I saw a bright light and figured I'd try to get my SMC Pentax-a 50/1.2 to flare wide open... with moderate success:

It has no problems producing bucketloads of coma (see top left corner) but flare is not really in this lens' repertoire. The other lens I can't get to flare at all is the Leica 90AA but that's to be expected.
