Re: Is flare bad?

If you saw it through the viewfinder, but it wasn't on the film, the 
lens coating had nothing to do with it. In both cases the light passed 
through the lens with the coating. The difference is that when you 
looked through the viewfinder the lens was wide open, but stopped down 
when the film was exposed.

Hi,
One shot I took comes to mind, it was two skyscrapers in evening
light with the sun glinting off of the smoked glass. I said, man that`s
pretty and took a couple of shots. When I got the film back, that
damn SMC got rid of almost all of it!
