It seemed that the flare got worse as the aftermarket coating got worn. I never liked the look of it wide open. Stopped down it did pretty good, but the flare is excessive sometimes. I recently purchased a Summitar and it has made my IIIf fun to use again. A very sharp lens stopped down a little. I have used the Elmar also. A very nice lens.
