BarberShop Posted March 19 Share #1 Posted March 19 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, One of my favourite lenses on the Nikon F system is the Vivitar 28mm f2 MC. Despite the apparent multi-coated (MC) designation, it flares like crazy. And I think it looks phenomenal. Can anyone recommend me a lens like this for M mount? I've been thinking about the Elmarit v1 or 2 but I can't really find any good examples of flaring, and they're very difficult to find anyway (on ebay). Thanks Welcome, dear visitor!

UliWer Posted March 20 Share #3 Posted March 20 Though if you want really strong flare from a Leica lens the pre. asph 35mm Summilux would be your (expensive) friend: at f/1.4 Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted March 20 Share #4 Posted March 20 None of my 28mm lenses can do that or i should try better. VM Skopar 21/4 on Sony a7s1 mod, f/11 here: Welcome, dear visitor!

Alberti Posted March 20 Share #5 Posted March 20 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! would this big flare cater to your taste? At the Leica Beaumarchais Paris shop they have such an original 28mm Elmarit 11801 look-alike in a good state (sharp, I tested it) and good price too. Here is the recent remake in action. M9 Monochrome. I actually like the combo of extreme sharp sides and the veiling.

Vanillasludge Posted March 20 Share #7 Posted March 20 Advertisement (gone after registration) As someone who, in the 70’s-80’s, dreamed of lenses that wouldn’t flare, I do not understand the world that is. 😂 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caranatar Posted March 21 Share #8 Posted March 21 You might want to consider the Brightin Star x Funleader 28 or the MS Optics Apoqualia. They both have pretty bad flare 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theopwildebeest Posted March 21 Share #9 Posted March 21 I second the Brightin Star (Funleader) 28mm f2,8 pancake. Small, well made, and flares beautifully! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested in the kind of flare that produces shapes. That flares that just obscures a central part of the image with light (e.g. veiling flare) is not really interesting.
