Collin I was curious about the 300 flare issue so I tried this: http://donsauction.com/pdml/300_4Flare.jpg
Shot a few minutes ago directly up a sunbeam that was coming thru the front window. (Still have a purple spot in my left eye) ;-) A lot of CA, probably from the sensor, but very little flare. The reason I was curious is I didn't remember having flare issues with this monster. Wonder if there's a bit of internal haze/fog in yours, I've seen just a very little bit of haze cause pretty pronounced flare.
