The flare thing is total BS. Many tests and comparisons have been done. There may be flare with the filter, but when you remove the filter, guess what, the flare is still there, probably slightly less, but there nevertheless. Same goes for ghostings at night. Nice quality lenses and filters are flare resistant. It\'s just a matter of personal preference.
Remember FPF\'s shots with the green ghosts from the chandeliers? Those weren\'t even night shots. Or Paul Yi\'s shots with his Rokkor 16/2.8 fisheye which has ghosts caused by the built in filter?
Ghosting happens because filters are planar and essentially mirror the sensor\'s reflections back to the sensor again. Lens elements are practically never planar, so they don\'t create ghosting like filters do. I\'m sure you know all of this, but saying that the same ghosts are there when you don\'t have a filter on is nonsense.
