9. Ghosting and flares

We still remember a painful slip-up the first version of the Samyang 2.8/14 had in the category of flares so now we examine closely the products of this Korean company. Unfortunately the Samyang T-S 3.5/24 doesn’t fare well here. The flares can be caught on both types of detectors regardless of the aperture value, although we have to admit they become more pronounced on stopping down. What’s more, you can notice them even if the source of light is situated far away from the frame. Please, examine closely the series of photos presented below, taken with the Canon 1Ds MkIII by f/11.0. The sun was over the roof of the building; still we managed to get flares even though the lens was aimed downwards and only paved streets were in the frame.
