Yuck. That's a neat flare blob right there. Thanks for the test shot!

 

I think we should be a little fair there though - most lenses will produce flare like hell when positioning the sun in a certain angle.

The worst spot is when the spot light is just outside of the image frame.

 

However, yes, the Laowa could be better there. The "high sun" scenario is probably not overly interesting - such images are rarely brilliant. The sunset one is a bit ouch though and I didn't have to search for it. It was immediately obvious in the viewfinder.
