I just picked up a TS-E 17mm yesterday and was doing some test shots with it on my 5Dii. I notice that when there is a bright light just outside of my frame it creates a mini-flare on the edge where the light is nearest to. It isn't centered in the frame, it's just on the edge. When viewing in live-view I pan across the light and it does such a strange flare sort of thing. These are bright street lights, or indoor lamps, but they aren't bright enough to flare out the whole image, just on the side of the frame. This problem is present when tilted and shifted to the extreme as well as when the lens is centered. In fact, I can get the flare to react without panning the camera. I simply lock off the tripod with the light out of frame, then shift the lens until it's in frame and I see the flare moving and reacting to the edge of my image as I shift the lens.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this normal? Does it have something to do with internal reflections in my 5D because the lens has such a large image circle? I tried googling, but all I could find was that the lens performs great with standard flare.
I'll try and post some pictures at some point. And I might try it on my 7D.
