Seriously, I think that trying to sift out this effect among all the other differences between coated/uncoated/asph/preasph designs is a total waste of time. Suffice to say I'm no enemy of flare in the right circumstances, any more than I am of grain or blur, especially when its suppression is at the cost of other desirable parameters... BUT... I wouldn't trade in my asph lux for a leaky dishwasher!! - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
