1) Yes, I get *exactly* that kind of flare when using my TE90.

2) It was either or both of my M4-P and my M4-2, using a 1980s Tele Elmarit
90/2.8. I have not seen it with any other lens (including Voigt 25/4,
Elmarit 28/2.8, Summilux asph 35/1.4, Summilux 50, Voigtlander 75/2.5).

3) couldn't tell ya
