I've used a few zooms on this scene over the years and none flared like this, although, to be fair, none of the zooms were as wide, all had better optimized hoods, and, of course, none were used in the exact same circumstances. Regardless, this is not the kind of result that I'd expect to see from a Pentax lens, and, while the shot may be a torture test, it's quite possible such scenes may come up every now and then. Is it unreasonable to expect better flare control?
