I recently received a AF-S 50mm F 1.8 G Prime lens... I have had excellent luck with it, meaning some good portraits and excellent industrial details.
It happened to be on the camera when I stopped to shoot a couple sunsets for an HDR... All 3 exposures had what appeared to be some type of flare. (normally for that I have a different zoom lens and never had any issues.) It seemed to improve or worsen as I composed the frame. (all samples are aperture priority)
Here is the shot.... 1/60 f/5.6 ISO 800 Downsized but no other processing..
I could see the flare in the viewer and as I changed the angle, it would go away.
And this was a different spot & angle in the same area...
both f/ 5.6, 1 at 1/80 & 1 at 1/100 ISO 400
No flare.... I had earlier taken a couple from another location (into the tree's and no river) similar to below.
I am guessing that it is just a condition with that lens when into direct light like that. If anyone can share thoughts, ideas, experiences with this or a similar lens I would appreciate it... (note, I took the 1st shot at 400 ISO also and same flare, also varied shutter by +/- 1ev bracketing and same flare appeared
Hopefully I provided enough info, if not, just ask and I will add more.
Thanks in advance for the help!
