I agree. On Friday I will try and do some tests on a tripod to settle the matter. That flare appears regularly in vertical shots when a light bulb (in the ceiling light) is within proximity. The Pentax exhibits no such flare at all, and anyone contemplating such a wide angle lens would do well to avoid the Sigma. It is an 'EX' but it really should be denoted as a 'HOOVER'. You get what you pay for. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
