Re: Purple Smearing w/K-5IIs

Hi Joe,

I notice in your gear list you have a standard K5 (if you still own it) so you could try a test in similar lighting situations using both cameras with and without a hood, the would clear up any debate!

The first shot where the entire circular room seems to be lit by this dome is asking a hell of a lot from a lens given that the interior of the room is perfectly exposed and it looks blueish rather than purple, there are extremes of contrast, this looks more like flare within the lens.

The second shot could have been helped by a hood just to stop the glare falling on the front of the lens, it does not always have to be sunshine, I've had flare even in moonlit situations, extreme contrast is enough.
