When I want zero flare, when shooting an M camera, in a back- or side-light situation, I use my Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/1.4 ZM lens. I expect various types of flare, when using my Leica lenses, particularly my Summilux 50mm ASPH, APO Summicron 75mm ASPH, and Elmarit-M 28mm v.3 lenses, in such situations. This does not bother me; I added the Leica M system, starting with the Summilux 50mm ASPH, to serve as an antidote to the “perfect” images I had been expected to produce, with a DSLR, as part of my duties as a public servant. (I may be artless, but, I can continue to attempt to be creative, which includes intentionally using flare.)
I have yet to test my relatively new Cosina Voigtlander 50mm f/1.0 Nokton VM, in conditions that would predictably cause my Summilux 50mm ASPH to flare. It has not yet seemed important to have a 50mm M-mount lens that does not flare, but I reckon that I would buy myself an APO Lanthar 50mm VM if if I were expected to produce perfect 50mm images with an M camera.
