Captcha is getting me. Going to stop for now. Will share additional pictures later and also crops to better see differences.

Flair pictures

Did you have the lens hood on/filter on?

This one surprises me a little. I can usually get this lens to flare pretty easily. Surprised to see this so drastically different.

Did I really spell flare like that

. I did have both the filter and the hood on. The reissue flares very easily compared to modern lenses like say the FLE. But is much more flare resistant than the original steel rim or v2. I'll take additional samples to show. Here is one from the same scene.

Here is another set. No hoods, lenses aimed pretty much directly at the sun.
