It isn't easy to provoke it to flare, but when it occurs it looks worse than the Sigma UWA zooms and the newer Tokina 11-20. Both the Tokinas are prone to ghosting if you close the aperture down too far or if you use filters in low light.

Good samples of the 12-24 were and are good, but the sample variation is large on all the DX lenses Tokina developed together with Pentax.
