in the lens tests 16/17 post the subject of flare for the 17TSE was discussed. It was mentioned that the bulbous from element collects side light more readily than flatter lenses with hoods, but that the lens was a good at reducing the effect of flare in shots into the sun. I did a test to show what it can do.
I did not bother to level the camera so ignore the crooked garage door. I did not tilt, so the front block is also out of DOF. It was focused at the right side about mid way into the scene, note how deep the dof is even at f8.
I used the finger over the sun trick (actually a stick) to get two exposures, one for the sun and one for the rest. I blended the two. I am showing both shots and the final blend. I had one small flare to clone.
