With an eeentsy beetsy chip of a piece of glass in the front. No flair issues. Easy to clean. Doesn't attract undue attention. Especially on my Leica M system where there is no issue as to how hard its going to focus. Nor how bright the viewing is going to be. As there is not a ground glass issue. Unless you've got the thing hooked up to your Viso. I'm hankering for the new 28 2.8 ASPH. High on my list is the collapsible 50 Elmar. And anything else slow small and compact they can come up with. Or old stuff from the 50's. Leitz Wetzlar F 3.5 and be there. Mark Rabiner 8A/109s New York, NY markrabiner.com
