My C-33 lenses (older, chrome mounts) are more prone to flare than average.
Haven't really flare-tested the KO lenses. Did do one impromptu test, though. Shot
an informal outdoor wedding portrait on a bright overcast day with the 135mm lens.
I was thoroughly impressed with the contrast and sharpness of the 16x20 I printed
of it. Only recently got the RB67, and haven't used it outdoors yet. Indoor
portraits and product shots look great. All the above are capable of producing
fine images. Whatever the lens or camera, I think a lens hood is the most
important accessory one can own. A good tripod runs a close second.
