Try to shhot with Canon IS II and than withh Nikkor VR II at contra light and you will see which one is better, nano coating makes the difference.

So, do you have any samples?



Generally Canon lenses are better at dealing with contralight than Nikkor lenses are; you only have to check the tests here on Photozone.



Furthermore only a few lenses have nano coating right now, about the same amount as Canon lenses with SWC coating.



Since I did own and try several Nikkors, and have owned and still own a few Canons too, I can only say that the findings here and on other sites corroborate my own findings in this regard. Nikkor flares and veils more than Canon, by a rather long shot. OTOH, it isn't really something to worry about, because these situations only tend to occur when you actually look for them.



Just don't use low quality filters on lenses when shooting digital in more difficult lighting conditions: that is asking for trouble.



Kind regards, Wim
