Subject: [Leica] [Leica} 50mm Summicron-M and flare

Greetings,
    I use a 1970's Summicron that flares in a back lit situation
including any sky  (as little as 10-20% of the frame).  Contrast is
essentially reduced to zilch across the entire frame.  A recent cleaning
hasn't changed a thing.  It's always used with a hood.  What gives?  Is
this characteristic of the vintage and are the newer versions less prone
to flaring?
    Thanks for any thoughts.
Fred
