Then why is the wider the better?!?! At least when it comes to my Zuiko
16/3.5 fish-eye. Very little ghosting and flare, even with a low sun in the
frame.
Now unfortunately som real blasphemy: Look up the results of a Nikon 20/2.8.
Flare resistance is so good it is almost unbelivable. Absolutely no
ghosting.
Add some Zeiss wide-angles for Hasselblad (forgotten which) and you'll know
that flare resistance wide-angles can be made.
