You were saying you need a fast wide angle lens that doesn't have a lot of flare with backlit subjects. Assuming you are using the proper lens hood (and this won't help you if the sun is in the image, anyway), I don't think there is a solution. Do you really need such a fast lens? You would have a lot less flare with a 28/2.8 than with a /2 or /1.4. You may just have to decide which is more important: lens speed or lack of flare.
