It seems to handle flare well, although some negatives at wide open lead me to suspect some slight vignetting. It is, as you now doubt know, one heavy piece of equipment. As for filters, their use on this lens is "not recommended by Leitz" (1987 Handbook of the Leica System). An 82mm will fit the threads but the protuding front element will contact the filter glass as it's screwed in.
