Be sure you're using a good, deep lens hood.

That is one thing my 50s don't have.  Anybody have recommendations?

It's either that or arrange with the subjects that you can reposition
yourself and them such that these windows are not in the frame. That
may not be possible given the room.

It's certainly not possible during belt tests, but my senseis are now a lot more enthused about doing some "aikido portraits" with me, so I'll be able to bring my gear to the dojo and set things up to my best advantage for those.

Our dojo is doing belt tests this week. I was taking pictures this morning and my p-fa 50/1.4 had lots of nasty flare from the light coming in through the windows. While the remaining tests will be in the evening, for future reference would the M 50/1.7 or the supertakumar 50/1.4 be noticeably better
at reducing flare?

Since I needed to keep changing lenses to get the right focal length, I was really wishing I had a 16-50. I expect that for the evening tests, I'll
wish I had a 16-50 and a K-x.
