When shooting interiors with ceiling downlights this lens is succeptible to flares. I always try to cover with hand the front element protecting it from any ceiling light shining directly at it.

yes, depending on the light source and where you are point to, this can be a big issue, same for landscape, when the sun is in the " right" angle, the flare is crazy.

In interior situation with multiple light sources, especially the bright ceiling downlights the situation can become very serious. The multiple bright flares of various colors and sizes can populate the entire frame and they can ruin your photo unless you would be prepared to spend time in PS trying to retouch them out which can be very tricky indeed. Try to schield the front element as much as possible without getting the shields in the frame, would be my advice.
