As the title says, is this flare normal considering the streetlight?

Funnily enough I also had it appear bottom left with the sun top right. Gear | Surrey Wedding Photographer

I have to be honest, expecting a lens to do otherwise seems pretty ridiculous. Flame on if you must. "That building in the background is distracting."

LesterWareham Moderator  More info | Nov 01, 2006 09:52 | #9 Yes this is the worst flaring lens I have, I don't think this is anything to do with the filter, controlled tests 50mm f5.6:  Hoya SHMC Pro 1UV  The thing's a beast at 24mm f11, no filter  Compared to the 17-40 f4L at 28mm f11 no filter  Gear List
