Ah, the joys of Canonware :-P
What does Canon have to do with the design of the FA31? I have
several Canon lenses and have not found any flare problems with the
correct Canon hoods fitted, using them on the 10D.
although it shows up quite visibly in the image file. Shading the
lens with my hand, if I'd seen it was flaring like that, would
have solved this particular problem.
This is on the right-hand side, where the shutter release also is.
Timer? Remote release?
Yes, it can be hard to do it...
The Kalt 1" deep metal lens hoods that I use on other lenses in
this focal length range won't fit the FA31 due to the fixed hood
being in the way.
I have the Soligor 100/2 which features a built-in hood. Even
though retractable, it is still a pain (caps being the main
problem). And it's short. Bad idea, if you ask me...
I fit a Nikon HN-7 hood to the FA135/2.8 IF because the built in hood
is, to my mind, mostly useless (on the far left):
