When flare looks good (Nikkor-S 1.2/55)

[Orio]

With most lenses, flare looks ugly. Sometimes even really ugly.
But with some few lenses, flare can look really good.
Such is the Nikkor-S Auto 1.2/55. This is a casual shot of my (messy)studio that I took while calibrating the EMF chip of the adapter:



None of my lenses flares this good, not even the Volna-9
This can be really useful for some effects and particularly to suggest sundown feeling. And differently from simple blur, it's not easy to reproduce this digitally in a convincing way.
Another reason to keep this lens!
