jlindstrom Posted April 6, 2012 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2012 On the positive side, nothing you couldn't clone out in post.. so esily fixable for the parts that have any relevance. Though it sounds like you were hoping/hunting for the flare :-) --Juha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgk Posted April 6, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 6, 2012 Oblique hard light just glancing into the lens is probably just about as difficult a flare situation as you can get - there's always Photoshop;). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks all.. The photographs weren't that important to me, just playing around with the lens on a walk this afternoon. Just surprised that it finally flared and was not expecting it to do so in these photographs. Seriously though, this is a very flare-resistant lens as per my post (#7) in the following thread: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/customer-forum/222520-super-elmar-demo.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolo Laguillo Posted April 6, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 6, 2012 that's often the case: photographing straight into the sun does not result in flare, that instead appears when the sun hits laterally the front element... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Negative Posted April 6, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 6, 2012 Obviously it needs a CLA immediately. Or Leica did something wrong. P.S. I really want this lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted April 6, 2012 that's often the case: photographing straight into the sun does not result in flare, that instead appears when the sun hits laterally the front element... Yes, interesting isn't it...why do you think that this is most likely to result in flare? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Negative Posted April 6, 2012 Share #11 Posted April 6, 2012 Yes, interesting isn't it...why do you think that this is most likely to result in flare? I'd have to agree... That glancing light seems to have more impact on flare than straight-on. Chalk it up to bouncing around, off of elements and things. Leica's (and most manufacturers) newer lenses employ a lot more baffling and the painting of element edges and other internal bits [black] than they used to. Coatings have gotten better too.

lars_bergquist Posted April 7, 2012 Share #16 Posted April 7, 2012 That is not flare. That is an internal reflection (actually, two), which is quite a different matter. Note the outline of the diaphragm opening. Flare is a haze of light that spreads evenly across the frame, or at least over a considerable part of it.
