jonpais Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Here's a screen grab from a shoot I did this afternoon. Settings: 24p, MOV, Natural, -4, -4, -3, -5. Is this normal, or does my lens suffer from too much flare? It was shot somewhere between f/2.8 and f/4. If necessary, I can upload the actual video file. Thanks in advance! https://copy.com/PCfBtM4kn73B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes, when I had the lens I found it flared a lot (which I personally didn't mind). The Olympus 17mm f1.8 flares a bit too. By comparison the kit lens on the a6000 doesn't flare at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hard to see what the subjects are doing through that overwhelming lens flare. What is it exactly? Looks like two Dolphins and a CHP police officer trying to wrestle a giraffe in flip flops. Am I right?

jonpais Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 @Ivan @Andy I've been obsessing over what seems to be veiling flare whenever I shoot with the 12-35mm. The 35-100mm images don't seem to suffer from this, but of course, I usually crop so tight with it that there isn't any strong backlighting to deal with. I guess I've been worrying about nothing.

andy lee Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 the wider your lens the more prone to flare your lens is , that's just physics ......so what I do is always shoot with a metal lens hood on all my lenses you can buy these cheap on ebay and my entire collection is fitted with them - yes one for every lens!! just get the right diameter for your lens front http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-wide-angle-49mm-metal-lens-hood-cover-for-49mm-filter-lens-/221414500337?pt=UK_Photography_CameraLenses_Lens_caps_hoods_adaptors_ET&hash=item338d5527f1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
