Yes! Soligor! Nice wake shot Frederic. Was this some kind of Ferry boat? Wear your life jacket! Too many of those tour ferry's in the news lately (mostly in China I think, but still...)

Yes it's a ferry boat between Uig and Tabert. Very modern, no life jackets

Here a pano with the same lens :

I wonder if using a step-ring would work as a shallow lens hood for this lens? Could paint the inside ring flat black, or apply black flocking or felt (a craft learned from a different hobby) I haven't found a hood that doesn't vignette on this lens, but I'd love to find one that helps just a little with flare.

Don't get me wrong, I like some of the flares, just not all of them. Its a silly sharp lens for an old UWA and it would be nice to get the most out of it as possible.

I like all the flares of this lens

Perhaps a MC protecting filter will do it...

I must say I find it so sad (yeah, I'm sentimenta!) how many tmes an old thread pops up and I find the OP and many of the early contributors are no longer a part of the community - I know that's just the way life is, but I do feel sad

Wonderful shot Frederic. Almost makes me miss my K-5.
