Tim -- I think to some degree flare is inherent in the application of
super-wide lenses... I've found it very important to know where the light
sources are, and use the lens shade if available, and that still won't avoid
flare if the light source is in the picture, which seems to happen fairly
often when you're taking in 110-degree angle-of-views. Of course, my widest
is the Zuiko 18/3.5, which is a bit narrower than a 14, quite a bit so I
believe.
