Rob Studdert has a photo taken with the A16/2.8 fisheye that I like quite a bit, so much so that I've put a copy on my site so I can easily view it every now and then. It's a snow-covered scenic shot directly into the sun, and the absence of flare is quite surprising.
http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/temp/robs-snow-photo.html Rob posted this photo to the Leica list when there was a discussion about lens flare and the quality of Leica coatings. If I recall, the conversation ended at that point <g> Butch Black wrote: > Someone in one of their threads mentioned > that Pentax's SMC coating was as good or slightly > better then Zeiss' T* coating.
