These are worst case with the sun only just out of the frame. Stupidly I mis-focussed between them on the wrong finial, but it makes little difference to the flare characteristic.
From Pt I of these comparisons the Tokina was very resistant to flare. The Zuiko is much more flarey, whilst the ZE somewhere in between. Seen here, I could make it flare, but only at one very precise angle to the sun, the Zuiko didn\'t need to be at any precise angle, it just flared! (The built in lens hood on the Zuiko is a joke, it only extends 20mm)
ZE F2 Hard to make it do this..only at one precise angle to the sun. OM F2 ....no problem getting it to do this!
ZE F8 OM F8
ZE 22 OM 22
EDIT: I cannot stress enough, that whilst these results make the ZE to look nearly as flarey as the Zuiko, this isn\'t so in practice. The Zuiko needs no encouragement to do this and needs careful flagging to prevent it happening. The Zeiss only flares like this at one precise angle to the sun.
