Besides in many cases the vignetting is only noticable when you shoot light bkgd areas out to the edges. ie: skies or light walls. And in some cases you really don't see it, it is so slightly there. It's another one of those thngs I was never aware of until I joined the LUG and folks were talking about, I always thought that was just the way the lens was supposed to help you as a photographer. :) ted
