Yes, but Don's shot was taken under far less severe circumstances. Spectral highlights from sun on water coupled with an almost direct backlit sun angle are about as severe a situation as you can find short of the sun in frame. I've found the K version performs quite well in high flare situations. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: SMCT 135/2.5 results > > > > This was shot almost directly into the sun with the K135/2.5.
