The low flare resistance surprised me though. The supplied (correct) hood helps but it needs more. Handles very well, a pleasure to use once you get used to the long focus travel. (About 200 degrees) Those who own the SMCP 135/2.5: Is flare resistance in the K version better? Is focus travel as long? Don
