a.noctilux Posted August 18, 2021 Share #21 Posted August 18, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Concerning flare, I did have the thing in almost with dozen(s) of 50mm in M and LTM.( even the MATE at 50mm is flarey ). The less flarey in contre-jour situation is Elmar 3.5/5cm + Fikus hood, even the one not coated, strange that this four element Triplet created almost one century ago weighting a bit over 100g can do what newer lenses can not.

Advertisement Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Hi a.noctilux, Take a look here 50mm Summicron v.5 vs. 50mm Summilux pre-ASPH v.3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Yes, I know the camera can produce flare as well. But it's a little strange then, that my 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH v.2 almost doesn't flare at all on the same camera, even though I've heard this lens can be very prone to flare.

Local adjustments with Dehaze tool is my most used weapon against this kind of flare. Edited August 18, 2021 by evikne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 18, 2021 Share #24 Posted August 18, 2021 When the same flare comes from the same lens on different bodies the culprit is the lens i'm afraid, even if it is a Leica . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

evikne Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share #27 Posted August 19, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I wonder what in this thread makes someone want to buy a new lens. We mostly complain about their weaknesses. 😄 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted August 19, 2021 Share #28 Posted August 19, 2021 How about the 50mm f2 Planar ZM? Zeiss seems to have always had a bit of an edge with their T* coating, and this is a less expensive, well-built and high performing lens with a classic formula. I have not used it directly, so I cannot say for sure, but it would be one place I would investigate. Perhaps also the 50mm Summarit, as the Summarit line has non-asph formulas with up to date coatings and very good performance... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
