Generally, this may be true, but my SC 35/2.8 definitely will 
produce flare, sometimes a lot, with the sun in the frame, or near 
the edge. Definitely more prone to flare than my MC 50/1.8 in the 
same situation. Mostly I can avoid this by careful shading, but I am 
looking for a better hood than the current noname rubber one I use, 
which is probably not narrow enough. I noticed the OM hood for the 
35/2.8 also fits the 50/1.8 and 1.4, but I don't have one. I even tried 
the rubber hood from my 85/2 (also for 100/2.8) and it appears to 
work without vignetting wide open, at least through the finder. I'm 
sure tests shots will reveal soem vignetting though...
