But since this is the Tamron thread, let me already tell: the 15-30 VC does flare (as most lenses do), but a LOT less than the Nikkor 14-24 (ok, must admit, that's an easy target).

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus. The bigger question is whether any of the more lightweight offerings from smaller vendors (Irix, Samyang, Laowa) can compete. It seems to me that all of them have major flare issues (sometimes denied by those manufacturers, but pics don't lie); but still I'm not quite ready to bury my hopes entirely at the moment. The new Sigma 12-24 seems to be decent.
