 when doesn't this happen ? Only if the sun is at your back.

about my statement:

 But there is a disadvantage: It has big troubles with flare. 
 If there is a light source not even in the picture area 
 but nearby you get tremendous flare.

Hi Paul,

I meant: if the light source, e.g. the sun, is not part of the composition
but just outside of the picture area.
And this happens quite often, at least for me. With the sun in ones back
there will be no flare.  :-)
But already with the sun at 90 degrees it's a problem.

A hood would be an improvement, but it's not an IF lens, so the front part
rotates. I think I will keep with my 'hand hood'.

Bob, if you like the 24mm length like I do it was one
of my favorite lens until it stopped zooming. It is
very sharp at 24mm but with some vignetting at the
wider apertures. Sharpness falls at 70mm but it's
still contrasty.  A great walking-around lens.

PS and a great buy at that price
