I shoot a variety of older Rolleiflexes --
a 3.5E and a 2.8C getting most of the
work.  Their weakness, in my use, has
always been veiling flare when shooting
a strongly backlit subject, or in other
conditions where the sun or a bright
reflection is in the frame.

Does anyone onlist know when F+H
or its lens suppliers upgraded the lens
coatings on the TLRs?  Are later TLR
models more effective at suppressing
veiling flare in these conditions?  Do
I need to ask Austin for his GX to tame
this beast?
