I am familair with flare, unfortuntely. But don't know what veiling is. Is it something which only happens with digital camera's or just as well with film camera's?



I have the EF 70-200/4.0, but that's is one of the worst lenses I have to photograph sunsets truthfully. I owned a Tokina 80-200/2.8 which was much better in that regard. Maybe I should wait for a 400mm/5.6 comes up. My Sigma 400mm/5.6 works on the Canon D30 and D60, but it failed to work on my previous 40D and current 5D. So, I never know for sure if the lens operates as it should do, without properly testing it.





Best wishes,



Reinier

You know, I give up. It actually CAN result in veiling, but I am not going to get into a yes-no game here any further than this has gone already. If you honestly believe it doesn't, fine with me. I guess you also believe monocoated filters can't cause veiling and/or (extra) flaring. Same problem. I've seen the results personally, I've struggled to try and fix those results. Both cases. With and without.



I'm outta here.



Bye, Wim
