[Studor13]

Studor13, in the DPreview comparison the Tamron looked worse in terms of flare.

 

In this particular situation I was surprised to see the Nikon as winner. That wouldn't have been my guess.

 

I think it's hard to beat a Zeiss 15/2.8 in terms of flare resistance. In this discipline the Zeiss' shine. Did you remove the flare in your second picture?

 

Great view of Bohinj, by the way, like it very much. Do you have already snow? I saw the first bits on the ridge this morning.

 

Hey Jo,

 

I didn't find the Dpreview but I am just going on what Matt G found and also from my experience.

 

The Nikon 14-24mm wil flare even when the sun is not even in the frame. Of course, this may also be the case with the Tamron.

 

The problem I get is often like the example below. I had to mess around a fair bit to get rid of most of the flare.

 

As for your questions:

1. I didn't remove the flare in the second image of the original post. Actually, the Nikon seems to be moon-flare resistance. Well, you know, the light of the moon setting in mid winter is not that strong.

 

2. No snow as yet. Just a lot of rain.
