	Regarding the wide-aperture flare of the summilux 35/1.4:

	Is this the kind of flare that makes the highlights kind of
	"bleed" into the surroundings? Does this happen at f1.4 mostly?

Exactly.  I am not sure what happens at more than f2.


	Does this happen in available light situations, with no direct
	light necessarily pointing into the lens (eg, flurosecent light
	in a room).

Exactly.  This softens the shape of the entire image.


	I am _very_ curious to find out if this is a known problem with
	the Summilux.

This is just a characteristic but a problem.  Somebody even prefer this effect.


	Thanks very much for any information,

	- Ihtisham
