The digital picture have finished the review of the RF 50mm 1.8. Wasn't the larger mount diameter supposed to bring, among other things, less vignette to the image? Perhaps I'm wrong.

I LOVE vignetting in a lens, I find modern optics clear edge to edge wide open sad enough to make me cry. A little darkened corners give depth and character to a lens, I'm so glad this one exhibits some !

True vignette can be attractive in some cases, but it is nevertheless a flaw, and removing it in post introduces noise. Specially against the sky, noise can be pretty obvious the more the vignette is heavy.

It is amazing how a lens hood can give an air of professionalism to whatever kit I may have.
