Why does this vignette?

Just got my new 5D Mark II and took it out for a few shots today. I am thrilled with it so far, but not sure why this shot shows some vignette. Shot with 24-105 @ 24mm, f/4. Three shot bracket.

I'd really appreciate any thoughts as to how I can avoid vignette here...

What do the originals look like? Do they show the vignette? You can't judge something like that with heavily processed images.

Also you might want to look at the gear threads. I thought I saw something about the 5D2 having a vig problem.

Originals show the same vignette (see attached). Other shots from today, even at 24mm, don't seem to show it.

What do you mean by having a look at the gear threads? I'm afraid I just don't quite understand that instruction...

Attached below are two of the shots, cropped just to show the top-left corner...

Did you have a circular polarizer on the lens?

You can look at these sites/threads.

No circular polarizer (no filter at all, but did use hood). Thanks so much for the links. I wasn't exactly sure what to search for here to find the info I was looking for. I'll try some shots wide open (as here) and stopped down to try to see if that changes anything.

I think your just seeing the vignetting that the 24-105 has. Check out this nice little serise of pictures showing how the 24-105 vignetts at different f/stops.

You could use DPP and the vignetting control to adjust for the lens and minimize. Also, if you have a filter attached I believe the vignetting is more pronounced..


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Wow, that is quite pronounced! Easy to understand how I had never experienced it before, since this was my first time shooting FF.

I'll know to stop it down a bit for shots like this now. I just tried adjusting it using photoshop's lens correction filter and it lightened it up a bit too. I'll have to try the DPP method later.

Thanks so much for your input!

*flame on*

Of course, you could trade in the 24-105 for the 24-70. It vignettes much less. ;):)

*let the 24-105/24-70 battle begin*

You should be ok. The gear people don't hang out much in the picture sharing forums.

The 24-105 does vignette slightly when you're shooting wide open on a full frame camera at 24mm. Enable Peripheral Illumination Correction. It should be right in the menu. I dont have the 5D but it does vignette on my Mark III, my friend literally just told me about that setting as I started typing the reply. I hope it works for you

Great! I found that setting and enabled it. Now I'll have to read up on it a bit more to make sure I'm using it correctly. Thanks!!

Ive noticed it vignettes too. Once I turned on the PIC its still visible but not as bad. I took a picture of a white wall just to see the pic effect. Big difference with/without the PIC on.

hopefully when they release the firmware update for the 1Ds it will have this setting.
