Samyang 14 mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC
9. Ghosting and flares
The producer announced at once that the improvement of the performance in this category would be one of the priorities. They weren’t just wild promises either. The new version features new UMC anti-reflection coatings and the inner and outer parts of the casing were redesigned (a longer in-build hood). All these changes have brought positive effect as you can see in the pictures below.
Although artifacts haven’t been totally eliminated they are less intense and more difficult to catch. What’s more, you are no longer surprised by situations in which you could get flares not only because of direct bright light but also just because of light sky.
