They also know that a slight shift in position will usually cure the problem. You can see when you are getting lens or filter flare and take appropriate action. If you are about to snap a photograph with your M6, and you have RF flare, and if you have a filter (any) on your lens, you are also probably going to get filter flare. If you use filters, be happy that you get RF flare. Take it as a warning to remove the filter. Without it you are clueless. When my M6 RF flares out, I quickly check to see if the same light is hitting the lens. If it is, I take appropriate action. Turn what you think is a flaw into a feature. Jim
