[unless attaching the lens cap :-) => no light no glare] Yes, you can't eliminate glare within the optics. One of the interesting things about the human eye is that it has a large amount of internal glare, and this is counteracted by the large degree of edge sharpening our visual processing applies. It is also the reason that we model the overall perceptual response of the eye with a power curve, even though the retina has a logarithmic response. A good camera with a simple lens actually has less internal glare than the human eye. Graeme Gill.
