When it comes to the performance against bright light, the bar is set incredibly high. First, you deal with a quite significant angle of view. Second, the lens offers you an excellent aperture fastness, that of f/1.2 and it forces adding a big front element that can't be positioned too deep inside the barrel. Third, you get as many as 15 groups of elements, as many as 30 air-to-glass surfaces where you can catch unwanted reflections of light. Fourth, the lens is a closed construction, so focusing is done by the movements of inner elements. It limits the number of places where you can put ribs and baffles.
Taking it all into account, we are really full of recognition when we look at the performance of the Nikkor. No matter what aperture you employ and where you put the source of bright light, the reflections are either weak and rare, or they are nonexistent. An excellent job!
