Hi B. D.

Gee eh, three out of four seems a reasonable number for not getting one at
the moment. ;-) Never mind, when I win the lottery I'll get you a couple.
;-) What the heck eh, what are friends for anyway but to help each other.
Right? ;-)

I haven't noticed any flare as you mention, but then I never noticed it that
much with the M6 either and if I did, I just did whatever it was I did and
the flare went away. :-) I think I just tilted the camera slightly and it
was gone. But none whatsoever with the M7. Have folks reported having flare
?

In case there were any bugs in the first M7 I received I sprayed the camera
inside and out with DDT, so hopefully it'll be "bug free!" ;-)
