I a previous message I commented on flare in pictures taken with my Nikkor 28/2.0 - but the more I study the pictures in question, the more I think the problem must have been dust - the red Ugandan dust that covers everything in the bush during dry season - in spite of my efforts to keep the filter clean. I conclude this because other shots in similar light are contrasty and free of noticeable flare. One thing certain: all but a just a few of the slides are very sharp, contrasty, and saturated - so I guess the lens stays in my kit. Bill Boyle
