I noticed an interesting concentric flare in some shots I took with the SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8 so I decided to run an unscientific test trying to force it out:
Not the same flare I originally saw, but pretty intense. I've been neglecting this lens up until now, but now I think I'm going to try and take advantage of this effect somehow.
After doing a few searches it seems like this is supposed to be a pretty flare resistant lens, any thoughts in that regard? This is obviously a torture test, but I couldn't get any other lenses to do something this prominent, excepting the Yashinon 55/1.2.
