Subject: [Leica] Backlight vs Flare?

Hi, Tina - I'm responding late as I somehow blocked my LUG traffic for part
of yesterday. Really great shot! But I am shocked by the flare. I've been
grumbling about the veiling flare I get in backlit situations I with the
Olympus digital zooms - although my friends shooting Canon have the same
problems. But as I didn't have that problem with the M aspheric lens, I was
shocked when I ran into it. But the veiling flare here, produced by the much
vaunted Leica 60 macro is virtually identical to what I see with the Olympus
zooms. Go figure. :-)
