Problem with the lens 9-18 Oly

Just now tried my 9-18mm into the sun (sun inside the frame) with E-PL5 and same pattern with the small purple flare blob down low. For fun tried Sigma 19mm and absolutely no flare problems.

All lenses do something different.

I've even seen CG generated movies and cartoon movies where they ADD massive multiple flare patterns to try and make it look "real". Certainly a sad cliché situation, better if no flare at all.
