16-35
14-24 is not known for flare resistant behavior

I don't know the 16-35 but the 14-24 is definitely not the best choice in terms of flare.

If interested:
Wrote an article on some of the causes of reflections

Can't really complain on the 14-24mm. Just keeping the front element clear.

Love the lens - day and night :-)

Nice images, Andy! In terms of flare I’ve also found that while the 14-24 may be prone to internal reflections, contrast still remains high throughout the frame, just as your daylight picture illustrates. It’s actually pretty well behaved.

I own both. 16-35mm is by far the champ.

The 16-35mm is amazingly flare resistant. If you see flare in the viewfinder, it's probably from the viewfinder and won't show up in the picture. The Nano coat works.

i picked 14-24 for flare
my 16-35 sits unused because it wont flare. it looks sterile like shooting with some slides duplicator lens
