It's not really a flare issue with the lens though... the flare is a factor
of the way it was used, right? IOW, any lens will exhibit a degree of flare
under the right circumstances.
In this case I would guess holding a hand up on the sunward side of the lens
might have eliminated the flare, and of course a deeper lens hood (or maybe
just totally circular) would have done the same.

Here's the flare problem I found:

Not a great picture on several counts, but the flare is quite obvious. A
deeper lens hood would likely solve it.
