Better then what I would expect. The flare is probably no worse then some of the later coated lenses made prior to 1954. If you want to see flare, try a Summarit. It's almost impossible to control. Your photos taken in the shade are outstanding with both good contrast and tonal balance. And your secret word is fun. That's what it's all about. Thanks for sharing.
