Hi Paul, I meant: if the light source, e.g. the sun, is not part of the composition but just outside of the picture area. And this happens quite often, at least for me. With the sun in ones back there will be no flare. :-) But already with the sun at 90 degrees it's a problem. A hood would be an improvement, but it's not an IF lens, so the front part rotates. I think I will keep with my 'hand hood'. regards Bernd H. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
