Has anyone noticed excessive lens flares using this in conjunction with any lens?

I haven't. Flares really shouldn't be a problem as you are only extending the distance from the rear element to the sensor. My setup doesn't exhibit that problem

I never had a problem with lens flare with this adaptor. I used it in conjunction with a NEX 5 R using a Tamron 18-250 lens. It worked good but I realized that I lost some control over the lens as this doesn't allow you to use any f-stop control at all so if you are planning to use this to take critical shots that need f-stop control you won't be able to do it that way.

Some argue that filters create a bit of distortion, especially flare. While I've found this to be true with cheap filters, I find these B and W to be great protection with at least no "field relevant" distortions, meaning if you put then through a rigorous "lab" like test, you might prove they cause some flare, but I have never noticed a difference with the filters on or off. These are great filters..

No...I have not. It could be an issue of of wrong corrective lenses to your prescription.

I've hardly had any issues with flare-ups, some fatty Ribeye's can cause flare-ups so I usually sear them first and cook on lower flame. The infra sear burner is a great feature,

Do you have a filter on the lens? If so, try it with no filter. Something might be interfering with lens movement.

I've been using mine for a long time now and never had any focusing issues. One of my favorite lens. I was so pleased with it I also now have the 30mm f1.4

None that I have noticed. The 18-200 lens for DX cameras had the problem on earlier version.

When mine did that, it was simply a dirty lens. I cleaned it with a microfiber cloth. As the lens is plastic, is it possible that some substance came in contact with it and turned it cloudy? Sorry, these are the only simple things I can think of

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.

had not had any issues with lens flair but I also try not to shoot in direct sunlight. lens is sharp despite what others have said. It's made for a full frame body...very happy with the lens performance....I recommend it.

Not that I know of. Even with SLRs I have found that if you see lens flair you can usually just stick you hand out and block the sun.

No, I love this lens. I havent noticed excessive vignetting, and it works fine in continuous auto-focus. I am shooting with a Nikon D300S and have been using the lens for a couple of months.

No issues for me with flare...if course if I am shooting directly i not the sun as with any lens its best to shade the lens ..I use a foldable reflector

I only really used one lens and that was ok. never checked the others. but I will now. sorry I didn't have the answer.

I have not, but i would strongly expect a converer to smear detail on the corners. This lens, when focused properly, is very sharp in the corners. I use mine on a Fuji XE1 and now issues at all.

I have never had that problem. My lens adaptor screws on and off as easily as any of the filters I use. The only guess I can make is that the threads with your adapter were defective in manufacture.

This is my second DMC FZ and no I haven't. If cleaning the lens well and not shooting towards the sun didn't fix the problem it had a unique flaw.
