I still do, on my IIIf. I go back and forth between an Elmar and a Summitar.

A recent paw was with one:

I seem to have a good sample. It doesn't flare much at all, unless I 
point it straight at a strong light source.

It's pretty good, very good, wide-open, but the bokeh is probably an 
acquired taste.
