Hello CanonRumors folks,
I recently picked up a 17-40L from the Canon Refurbished store. So far I'm enjoying it, though I have noticed that it seems to flare more than I expected, particularly red and green blotches/reflections. Admittedly, this has generally been in situations where the sun is directly in the scene, but it is still more than I expected and more than I had seen with other lenses I have had when trying to get similar shots.
So, I was curious to hear from current and former owners of the 17-40L if this kind of flare is par for the course or if there might be reason for me to contact the Canon refurb store for an exchange. I've attached a photo as an example (the flare in question being in the right side of the image).
Thanks for any advice!
