Leica has always created excellent optics.  In my opinion, purchasing an
APO is like guilding the Lily.  The laws of Optics mention that maximum
sharpness is achieved by shooting at two stops below maximum aperture.
Using my 90 mmf4 with a lens hood gave me NO flare.  Any lens would give
some flare if aimed in the sun's direction.  Do I detect some nit-picking
with some members?  Remember, Photography is an ART and is expressed with
profound originality.  Our cameras are simply a vehicle toward that
ultimate goal.
