Hi everyone
I would like to ask for some advise on lens flare that I'm experiencing with my new E-M10 II and 14-42mm kit lens. My home camera is a D7000 and when shooting in direct sun light or street lights at low aperture (Tokina 11-16mm 2,8 or Sigma 18-250mm), I always used to get nice sharp flare effect as below which I really like:
Above image is using f20 3sec @ 18mm.
Above using f22.
I'm now travelling so I have bought a more compact camera the E-M10 II and now I seem to be struggling with the lens flaring in a less attractive way as per below (as close to above f and exp setting as I could find currently f18 4sec @ 14mm):
Below is directly into sunlight at f18:
I've noticed that I actually get a better result using a wide open aperture, in this case f3.5:
Can anyone give some feedback as to whether I'm doing something wrong or if this is just the characteristic of the Olympus lens optics?
Thanks in advance
Anton
