The black area outside of an image circle isn't attributed to vignetting.  The EF 24 f/1.4L II was designed for digital bodies that have distortion correction, which means that like most wide angle lenses, very similar to those on fixed lens cameras, it is designed to actually not fully cover the sensor in the corner but instead relying on correction to crop and then correct the extreme distortion around the edges.

So like the G1X and G7 X, if you go find a viewer that will show the uncorrected RAW file you'll see black corners on the wide angle end.  MOST modern digital wide angle lenses are designed with image circles that don't fully cover the sensor.
