Will the new TG-6 have the same lens "flare" or "halo" effect as TG-5?

Re: Will the new TG-6 have the same lens "flare" or "halo" effect as TG-5?

I haven't seen the purple orb in any of the available TG-6 samples. But, that doesn't mean the problem has been corrected. It's a lens design problem that goes back through several generations of the TG line. Under the right lighting conditions, my TG-3 will produce that spot. The TG-6 is mostly a firmware update, so it's questionable if the issue was addressed.
