#2 - Stop down
The optical vignetting does clear off rather fast when stopped down.
Even a bit between the f2 and f2.8 mark helps reduces it.
Hey my MIS fishing reel is a hundred times smoother than my MIJ one...I catch more fish with it too. :bsmilie:

Some just from a shot trip.
I think I've mentioned this before about the supposed use of various mount lenses to get 'optimal' IQ or other qualities and its downsides.
Looks like this time it bit me and I am sure it would be a sooner or later thing.
I packed a CV12/5.6 (M-mount), Pentax K28/3.5 for the short trip so that the 12mm would be the ultra wide option.
So the horror when I took the CV12 out of my bag, tried to mount it on my camera and could not do so.
Obviously, I screwed myself in my haste of packing the bag while juggling child matters for the trip that I forgot the M mount adapter. :bigeyes:
As said before,IMO, its often a good thing to just have one mount type to keep things simple and lower the risk of not bringing the right adapter.
This certainly over many theoretical superiority of one lens over another since "no adapter = no picts".
So the K28 became my widest option for the trip.
That's sad!! I'll take note of that "1 adapter, 1 lens" thingie if I switch system
Cya next year, hope to see more ramblings from you!
