Since the glass is recessed, it has in effect a built-in lens shade, I've had no absolutely no flare problems, the lens is very sharp, coated and very inexpensive. It is my standard 35mm for my Leica/Canon screwmounts. And while a light lens, it does not feel flimsy. It seems to be readily available, although Woodmere has always overpriced this lens, asking as much as $300 for it; a price of $100 to $150 is the more likely reasonable estimate of its market worth.
