Lens flare was way more common back in the days of precoated lenses. Some lenses handle flare with flair but not many. An example is the cheapest old Nikkor you could ever buy the 28/3.5...not known for much but somewhat reknowned for it's abililty to handle flare adroitly...You can get on google images and look up "contre jour" and see many examples of the successful use of flare...they are typically less detailed types of pictures many times they are backlit bigtime and as such the flare tends to enhance rather than detract from the subject...</p></blockquote><p></p>
