They will cost you about US $500 -600 For a few hundred dollars more, you can have an Elmarit 90, with about the same performance. Flare? I have never experienced it with my TE, and I've been shooting it for about ten years. I always use the hood, though. I dunno about the Summicron. It looks wonderful, but I cannot think that it will be a thousand dollars better. It is also heavier. It is also fatter. It also makes the camera front heavy. If you want similar quality for under US $100, then consider the Jupiter 9. F2. Just stop trashing this nice little lens. It works well, it is small, it is pretty, and it makes nice pictures.
