Morning broke with beautiful sunshine coming from low over the horizon, so I went out for a walk on the ice outside Helsinki, shooting more or less straight into the sun. I could not reproduce flare issues some users have reported, despite framing a helicopter flying straight into the sun with the 125/2.5.
I think I need to ditch the hoods to get flare (I'm using round LH-75 on 90 & 180 and square LH-75S hood on 125).
While these are not exactly comparable (different exposure and composition) I think they can be of interest to others. All have 5400K white balance, same sharpening (5 on a scale from 0 to 9) and same RAW settings. Uploaded original size (see link)
My personal favorite is the shot with the 90/3.5, although I fooled around with focus and think I did not shoot this at infinity. Nevertheless, it is a good example showing how the 90/3.5 renders color a little differently from its cousins. It seems that the 90 gives deeper blue and reds than the others, I need to investigate this. Days are short here, but on another sunny day I will bring out the tripod and do identical exposures.

great demo and superb shots Vilhelm!
maybe the sun is too weak in Finland to produce flare

That 125mm is a favorite of mine. I trust you exposed in aperture mode. I have some lenses that for whatever reason always over expose by a full stop or slightly more. I set the AV to -1 1/3 when using them. Oddly, that changes when at f/11 and I get under exposures.

Great pictures, Vilhelm. There is a lot of clarity in the pictures taken with the three Apo-Lanthar wonders, thanks to their apochromatic construction.
Cheers,

Manual mode, but I trusted the matrix metering. Very bright sun straight into the lens, most of the time I did not see the metering indicators. Forgot to set the D3 on 3F bracketing (-0.5, 0 and +0.5), it usually is a good idea with snow and shiny bright ice.
Poilu: I agree, sun is so low over the horizon and there is cold air over the ice, which makes for low haze on the horizon. I do look forward to taking the trio for a trip to Mexico next month though, nice to see some saturation as opposed to the monochrome winter scenes of Finland.

Some more shots from the same walk-around last Sunday morning. Some haze in the air in long distance shots like this. Could have brought my 49mm polarizer, but it is of such inferior quality I think I need to order a B+W before I put one on the APO-Lanthars.
