It always amuses me when I read things like this and think about the
generations of world-class photographers who managed to make iconic images
despite problems like lens hoods cutting off part of their view. ;-)

Hi Lou,

well, let me suggest you to go for a separate finder for your 28 Summicron,
and others.

Flare is something one would have to struggle against.
I'm the kind of person that would prefer a flareless neg/slide instead some
other stuff.

your choice
