Well, B.D., I guess my M6 is one that was carefully dropped and doesn't
exhibit the killer flare you mention.

 Just because I choose to primarily support my family outside photography
doesn't mean that I don't use my camera "commercially" to support charitable
groups or organizations.  If I am the only non-snapshooter present I have
the same responsibility to bring back images to record the anti-landmine
protest or marriage festivities as a "real" photographer.  Since I've been
on the list I have taken Ted's advice and shot into the light to better
outline subjects with backlight, including media glare or setting suns.

I think that the flare problem may indeed suffer unit variability.

My advice is to do what Slobodon has done, use the tool that gets the job
done.
