Chocolate and cream, very nice way to describe it. My wife would love you for the chocolate but the cream is off limits. Lactose problem you know but chocolate keeps her sweeter.
Back to flare with the asph summicron. I need to revise my statemeny at this point. My retro asph summicron came with the near worthless circular retro hood like the old v1 35 summilux. It makes a good bumper but having purchased the standard rectangular hood for the asph and retiring the circular one I've found it to take care of much of my problem with flare. The rectangular hood is much more efficinet at restricting stray light. Last Saturday evening I was shooting some of my documentary work on the religious snake handlers and shot in a tiny church with exposed light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. The potential for excessive flare was high but out of three rolls there wasn't one instance of flare due to the lens. There were three or four frames that has streaks but they were due to internal reflections inside the body. The image circle is larger than the frame particularly on the long axis. Light sources outside the picture area can cause internal reflections in the camera body and result in a streak of light coming into the frame from the source. It's not lens flare but internal body reflections. I've experienced this on all six of my M's at one time or another and also on my ZI body.

The round hood is for decoration. Keep the rectangular one.
I'll scan a frame and post one with internal reflections. It seems to happen when a point source bright light is just outside or on the edge of the frame. Probably a rare condition for most people.

does the rectangular hood for the summicron fit on the summilux? i imagine that would be nice.

Which summilux? The 35/1.4 ASPH has a rectangular hood...do you mean the 50?

no, but that's another thought. i meant using the 35mm summicron's smaller hood on the summilux.

I don't think the asph summicron 35 hood will work with the summilux. The 35 asph summicron uses a 39mm filter and I think the summilux asph uses a larger one.
