I'm referring to linear distortion, not perspective distortion. My

I think a black-ring UV filter looks terrible on it. Need to find a

Likewise ... my 43mm ltd never showed a hint of flare under
any circumstance. I will, however, admit to using a
slightly larger/deeper lens hood than the standard one, but
