Hi Juan ... If I recall, you have the same version of the 'cron as I (the one just before the current version with the built-in hood), and I've not noticed any similar problems. I suppose if you shot the scene at a certain angle relative to the light source the chances of this happening would be greater than if shot at a different angle.
However, many of the newer Leica lenses are very sharp and contrasty, built with great "precision" and are technically very fine, but they are also lacking in a certain character that can be found in Pentax lenses. The Pentax 50mm lenses seem to have nicer bokeh than the Leica glass, for example - and better lens hoods ;-)) "Juan J.
