a quick note for those who may pore over this thread, researching their upcoming purchase, not just playing with themselves--
-- in my 30+ years of shooting a wide range of nikon cameras, i have accumulated hundreds of frames with the exact same flare pattern under exactly these conditions. why, with the fabled 55/2.8 i am usually able to obtain a stepped border effect, with the flare becoming brighter at each clearly visible straight cut-off line
-- i bought my 750 a f t e r reading this thread. it\'s a fantastic cam. there you go
