The Canon EF 24 mm f/1.4L II USM works well against bright light. Of course you can still catch some artifacts but they appear only in specific conditions and aren’t very bothersome. What’s interesting, it is easier to do so on the 50D than in the photos from the 1Ds MkIII. You can’t exclude the possibility that such an enhanced performance is the result of huge vignetting on full frame which dims the corners and damps down any flares that might appear there. The fact that the intensity and visibility of light artifacts on full frame increases on stopping down might be the proof of this theory.
