Everyone of them flared horrifically, with its accompanying loss of contrast and sharpness. I've had early and late versions, all seemed to give the same results. I've just about had all the other 90 versions, except for the early black 90 and the 3 element version. The one surprise, and I shoot mainly in Southern CA with its extreme contrast problems, has been the 90 F4, chrome version, and the 90-C. Both lenses have a unique contrast, and are unusually sharp throughout the whole range of apertures, and focusing distances. But then that's been my experience. other's have raved about the T-E. with a completely different experience.
