For those of you suffering from flare on your 35mm Summicrons and
Summiluxes, perhaps the best answer would be to pick up one of the late
production 2.8/35 Jupiter-12's made in Russia.  These are Leica-thread-mount
versions of the superb Bertele Biogon design of the 1930's;  they are, for
the most part, rather well made, inexpensive, and coated.  Of course, you
need an adapter ring, but machts nichts:  it's a super lens and I've NEVER
heard of flare problems from the Biogon!  A clean answer to the problem for
about $100.
