Dirty 28mm f16 2019.jpg

This shows the effect of a dirty lens both internally and on the front element.
(exposure is also about 1/2 stop more to show the effect of dirt.)
Multiple diffuse flares instead of a single strong central flare like the 50mm f/1.4.
The light reflected from the sensor to the lens and back to the sensor has a bluish tone.
Possibly because of the nature of the IR,AR coating on the sensor filter.

Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7 Digital
3s f/16.0 at 28.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
