Jul 17, 2015 at 14:43 comment added aardvarkk You know, I think it's a combination of what both of you guys are saying. I shoot in RAW, and this is a high-quality CMOS sensor, so I think this blooming effect is not due to something as simple as a high contrast scene. I can understand it being blown out, but not blooming like this. I'm not sure of the quality of the UV filter since it came with the lens, and upon close inspection there was a fair amount of grime that was visible when I held the lens up to the light. If either of you guys wants to submit an answer, I'll accept it.

Jul 17, 2015 at 13:08 comment added aardvarkk Yes -- there's a UV filter on this lens. I definitely feel it's something more than just being overexposed because the blooming seems a bit crazy to me. What happens in an uncoated filter to make this happen? Likewise, why would a dirty lens cause this? Wouldn't everything be smeared, not just the highlights?
Jul 17, 2015 at 13:00 comment added Mike Sowsun Do you have a filter on this lens? It looks like the problem may be caused by a cheap un-coated filter.
