Ah, well I am not so interested - flare could be a problem given the 
number of lens elements and use of single coating as you mentioned on 
your web site.  Having to hack off the 6x6 format flare busters would 
devalue the lens in terms of use on multiple formats.... unless a 
couple of the lenses turn up in a bargain bin :-)
