All I can say is that this lens must suffer from significant sample
variation. My brand new one had troubles with flare. Heck, it would even
flare if there were light tones in the photo! I sold it and bought the
90/2.8 Elmarit which I later traded up to a 90/2AA. Both these lenses are
stunning performers.
