Just bought this lens and was on the course playing with it. I noticed that when I had it at its widest fov I could see this through the view finder and of course in the converted picture.

Any ideas what is causing this ?

I had the exact same issue. The lens hood was not on all the way. It feels like the hood has two "Clicks" to make sure it is all the way on.

What camera body were you shooting with? If it's a 1Ds or 5D, full frame will have vignetting issues at the wide end with the Tokina. It could also be the lens hood if it isn't twisted on all the way.

Take the hood off, check that the shadow has gone, then put it on properly.
