We are nicely surprised by this lens's performance against bright light. The bar was raised pretty high – after all you deal here with a small zoom lens with an ultra-wide angle of view; a lens which, additionally, doesn't change its external dimensions. The movement of all elements happens inside – it makes it very difficult to install apertures and ribbing.
Despite all obstacles the lens managed fine to put it mildly. You can catch some flares but there are not so many of them and their intensity is low. Most of the problems you can encounter on stopping down the lens and at the maximum focal length but even there the problems with ghosting and flares aren't serious.
If you wanted to complain you could say that even after moving the sun far away from the frame corner sometimes you can catch unwanted light artifacts. Fortunately, the overall contrast of image doesn't decrease and unwanted reflections don't occupy a lot of space.
