I do not know for others but for me I have had no issues, my pictures are very good. I trust this helps but you can also peruse other responses.

In my experience this is definitely an issue. Very pronounced sun flares to the extent I am considering returning the lens. It is not always possible to "be aware of your positioning" to resolve the problem. Yes, you can take a picture of something else I suppose and turn your back on your intended capture if the sun is anywhere in the sky. I have used the lens at all times of day and it makes no difference.

I can tell about my experience. The noted the problem on mine too. It gives a glossy aspect to the picture. I got in contact with photodiox and they sent me a new one straight away. The second one seems to work way better, although it still happen once in a while. Since for me its just a hobby, its not a big deal but it may be a problem if you need it to work. By the way, im very pleased with the product and i believe its the only option to use the Konica AR lenses with Canon EOS.

Yes! I was taking a photo of a pond lily on macro and did not notice that there was an extremely tiny bug on the petal until I uploaded the photo. It's detail was awesome. The more I learn about the settings the more I like this camera.

I haven't had streaking problems with this one like I did with others. I really like it so far. Hope it helps :)

No streaking because it's not a sunless tanning lotion. It somehow boosts your sun exposure. I have pale skin also. It is dark, however, and can make a mess on light colored clothing, towels, furniture.

Oh! It happened in very bright sun in my backyard. I noticed it during night shot as well. When I zoomed in on a street lamp in the night about 50 yards away, it went out of focus and stayed that way. Very strange focusing system. I tried all the AF settings, but the result was the same. In the tele mode, it looks like this system has some serious focusing issue.

First of all, check whether you need to use high altitude settings. Also, if you are using remanufactured cartridges I have had some experience with streaking. Check your toner levels. You can also take out the cartridges and shake them. Make sure your printer defaults to the right kind of paper (i usually use multipurpose).

It's my favorite camera ever, and I also own a DSLR. That said, I discovered a small piece of dust or debris on the sensor through a photo of the sky shot at f/16, focused at infinity. Otherwise I wouldn't have discovered the dust. I sent the camera back to Ricoh repair services for warranty service about a month ago, and it's in transit back to me now. This is not a common occurrence, and I was told by a Ricoh product specialist that the dust most likely entered the camera during the manufacturing process. A clean room where the cameras are assembled probably became temporarily contaminated.

Sorry to hear that.I think I've had mine about the same amount of time and no problems yet.Mine is in direct sun just about all day.

I agree...I used to get streaks if I didn't use the printer for a month or so,(I only use it for photo printing.) Now I make it a habit of printing something every week. I don't have to clean the printheads and no streaking.

During daylight hours, it does so very well. When using the IR lighting, there is a lot of glare. I've tried several ways to eliminate it, but so far no luck. I have read where someone blacked out the lights on the camera and used IT illuminators outside, and that worked. I'll be giving that a try myself.

I have the same 'over exposure' issue with my D90....didn't have that issue with my older D50. Not sure if Nikon has made some adjustments in the newer models. If shooting in bright sun light I have to remember to set the compensation to -7. On a recent trip to Red Rock Canyon, near Las Vegas I forgot to set and had quite a few shots that were completely over blown.

Yes, I noticed this problem on my set too. I took a couple of pictures and posted them so we can be sure we talk about the same problem.

I also hear that it streaks in sunlight. I apply it on my car in my garage. I agree, great product.

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?
