Have read that the noctilux is one of the most flare resistant lenses. So how many people actully use theirs without the hood? and those with the E60 retractable hood versions, do you extend the hood when shooting.
If the consensus is that this lens is 'that' 'flare-resistant', then you can go hoodless for most intents and purposes. Or are these situations you have to look out for? (excepting using the clip on hood as a protection bumper)
