First, a word of caution- these are not photographs. These are snaps done in a haste, just to get a feel for the lens.
The flares very easily if the sun is around. I found moving my hand to where the sun is over the hood and forward a bit helps. I wonder if a special hood could be made for it- probably a very $specialty item$.
This is just the palm of my hand barely in front of the hood area of the lens:
I need to practice and see different with this lens. Otherwise, I am not really using it. Did these snaps to start to get a feel for it.
