Same here.. I've used both the Blad and the G2 and have never had a problem with flare. And I don't use a shade on my 80mm T*. I don't see what the big hubub is about. I've got the Canon 50mm. I've never experienced flare. I'm not pointing my lens directly into the sun mind you. I have, however, experienced flare on an older Pentax SMC 28mm Screw mount and on that old Vivitar 19mm that Frank now owns. I expected flare at that point though as I shot with the sun at about my 2 o'clock position.
