I almost > take it for granted that SMC = excellent flare control. Am I wrong? I see two samples of bad flare in the site you referred to. I learned that Tokina/Pentax versions share the SMC coating from horse's mouth. So I cannot comment why these particular samples are showing flares. I remember someone on this list talking about bad flares in certain conditions, particularly when direct light enters from the edge of a hood etc, but I am not sure. I will ask my contact about these two sample images. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
