I have a hankering to shoot some into the sun flare portraits. I know I have to use a reflector or diffused flash to fill the shadows, but what (auto focus) Nikon mount lens gives the most attractive flare performance ? I would also like a golden/warm tint to the flare. Usually you can look at the coating colours to see what the flare tint is like but know this is not always true. I don't mind off brand, or D type lenses. Camera is D850 and I will also be shooting Portra film in an F5 as I know it has the dynamic range.
I want to shoot something like this :

When you say worst...what do you mean ? I don't have a short range macro lens and it was something I was considering adding to my collection. I have the 24-70 f2.8 and that doesn't really flare attractively.
Jealous of the Leica flare performance : have a look at some of these. https://www.slrlounge.com/real-lens-flare-right-way/
