Still, Zeiss 80mm on a 'blad vs. Pentax SMC 105mm on a 67...the 105mm is a lot cheaper and definitely harder to flare. You'd think that Zeiss would know what they were doing with internal baffling etc. Now, I'm not saying that the Zeiss lens was flare-prone, because it wasn't, it performed excellently. But it did flare when the Pentax didn't. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
