There's nothing  like a good review and that ain't nothing like a good review. Simply saying that the lens has a vignette issue in isolation comes over as whining and is not very informative so maybe balance things up a bit by describing the positive points of the lens.

It is a lens I am not using because it cuts off the corners at 15 mm simple as that....

Is your lens hood on correctly? Are you using lens corrections in your image processing software? You're not using a "protective filter" are you? If yes to all, it appears you have a defective lens.

This is not normal . Better ask yourself what went wrong instead of judging this lens.

Re: dark corners

I think it is going to Canon for repair because it cuts the corners at 15 and a little at 85 without hood or filters...

I am not using it because just got a 6D Mk ii...  I want to like this lens because of the nice contrast it has...

Thanks,

John G.

I agree with others, definitely something wrong, my 15-85 doesn't do that on my 80d.

The suggestion that this shows that the lens vignettes badly at 15mm is LOL worthy.

Clearly something is up - either a crooked lens hood, a filter or else your copy of the lens is horribly defective/damaged.

It is not fair to give the lens a poor rating on account of any of the above.

Excellent.

You should have a fully functioning lens in no time

I think you will reallly enjoy your return of the lens - it really offers perfectablty acceptably IQ and great versalitity.

Best of wishes

Maybe you should write a new review, because for most people i know like the lens very much.

Re: dark corners

So: is this uncorrected or with lens corrections as applied in whatever image processing software you use?

Tried the canon lens optimizer in DPP not much difference, I can lift 3 of the 4 corers but they have noise the 4th is too dark...  I plan to call Canon tomorrow and see if they can do anything else....
