Optics and Lenses - This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS and LENSES. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE.

What have I learnt from all of this? That all lenses flare at some angle or some type of light.
Sometimes we have to accept that flare can be a phenomenon that can give character to a photo and is, again, sometimes desirable.

Some Meritar flare:


Cassaron flare:


I have to comment that the Cassaron is probably the worst M42 lens I have encountered -very flare prone despite the deeply recessed front element, and totally useless at f5.6 or larger because it loses all sharpness and contrast. Despite Steinheil's (recent) lofty reputation they did make some real stinkers.

Internal reflection:


The sun was just outside of the frame -but I guess it reflected off the bottom of the mirror box and created this rather odd and distracting flare. Another reason to use a lens shade!

And of course a beautiful sun ring captured with a plastic "tiger boy" 110 camera:

35/1.4 Summilux ASPH (no filter), TMZ, XTOL. Crappy scan (and Newton rings) from Epson V500.

This is the most dramatic flare I've ever seen from the Lux ASPH. There were multiple spots shining straight into the lens and I was exposing for the shadows.
