I have not been bothered with flare, for whatever reason, and the sharpness is quite up to Leica standards as I know them to be (in other words within my little frame of reference). Wicked sharp. It nicely complements the 50, I think, as a portrait lens, and I can fill a frame with a face, and is compact enough to use as if it were a 50. It is the only 90 I own and the only 90 I've used or feel the need of owning.
