Tamron 17-50 Users-Question

Do you experience much lens flare? I seem to be having tons of problems with it. I noticed it shooting my personal car last night. Is it just me??? I was shooting in a parking garage w/ overhead lights every 10-20 feet and I couldnt get a decent angle that wasnt getting nasty results.

Thanks!

The only time I've experienced flare was when I was shooting a football stadium from above at night. Are you using the hood?

ya definately using the hood, but i do alot of cars at night and cityscapes at night so im worried that im going to have issues, im gonna go out tonight to a different location and see if my results are better.

Based on others reviews, the tamron handles flare really well. Some say it handles flare without the hood as well as the 17-55mm by Canon with the hood. I have the lens, don't typically use the hood, and havent had any problems thus far with flare at all.

perhaps it was just the kind of lights they had in this particular parking garage because I was getting flare with my 70-200 w/ the hood too. Im gonna try one more location before I decide what to do.
