Due to the larger angle of coverage neded for shift capability, there is
always more 'unused' light in a shift lens than in normal lens. 
So it seems to be natural that a shift is more sensitive to flare.
This makes me wonder that the 35mm-shift seems to be one
of the last Zuiks  which changed to MC -whenever ?

Seem`s I`d have to check the lens more careful again.
