(obviously) Some people don't use a lens hood indoors, but you would be astounded how much flare could be generated by flash reflections off walls that are not even in the picture. Leica is doing a dis-service by not recommending or supplying a lens hood with the Elmar. Jerry Dave Olson wrote: > To: Jerry and everyone else discussing flare. > My 3 cents worth is this.
