I have a MC-marked 35/2.0, it's a fantastic lens and yes, it IS good
regarding flare, but, in all honesty I've seen some even better, PopPhoto
have probably seen even better since 1986. But with a good shade (not the
original one, I use a hat or hand) this lens performs absolutely perfect
results. It has quickly become one of my favourites.
BTW, I've made friends with my single-coated 24/2.8. On my last trip to
sunny southwest US we really came to know each other, with some care in the
composition and shading with a hand I've now taken shots I thought was
impossible with this lens, even with the sun lurking just aside the frame. I
was thinking of locating a MC-version, don't think it will be really
necessary.
Every technical system made by man, camera, computer system etc. has it's
limitations. The trick is knowing them.
