Used mine at an event I was hired to shoot at yesterday.Not sure if this is what you were looking for but there is a bright window in the background. I don\'t see any flare.
If I may say so, this looks like exceptionally good contrast/veiling flare performance. I\'m getting more and more excited about this lens.
As for flare, not sure why you would have any in that shot regardless--the lens was not subjected directly to a bright light source.
Many many lenses, even really expensive ones produce a certain amount of veiling flare in situations like this. This example looks exceptionally free of veiling flare contrast-loss judging by the shadow texture in her hair.
I thought the new coatings/elements were supposed to take care of CA...makes me wonder what that shot would look like if it were at f/2.8.
The blue fringes are not CA, they are the result of the red and green channels ceasing to clip. This happens because the blue cast of the window light blends in the bokeh. You just don\'t see the blueness in the highlight because the sensor can\'t hold it. Note that the fringe is blue on both sides of her head, and the top, which would not be consistent with CA. This has been discussed severally on the alt forum. Here\'s an example: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/597185/79#6334182
