P3D Re: Loreo lens flare

[Ronald Beck <ronald-beck@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe there's a way to paint the inside a flat black which
supposedly reduces or eliminates the flare that you're experiencing. 
Check the archives for more information on this.  I purchased a (well)
used Loreo a while back and it appears to have been given the "flat
black" paint treatment.

HTH,
Ron

BTW, I did see the reflections you mentioned in the pictures of the
comic convention.  Was that a Poke'mon nurse? :-)
