I have the non-DG version and yes it suffers from a bit of flare and low-contrast if you are shooting directly into the light. However with this type of lens it is very rare to shoot in these circumstances and so is rarely a problem.

The flare (and resulting lower contrast) are not resolved by a new back element coating... the DG version will show similar flare.
