Vignetting on 24-70 F/2.8L II USM

[PackLight]

Wide open, f/2.8 at 24mm I expect a lens this expensive to have abolutly no vignetting.

The 600mm f/4L IS II costs $13,000 and has about 1.5 stops of vignetting wide open. :

The 24L II is $1500 and it has 3 stops of vignette.

This is typical of a board with "Rumors" in its name.
We start by talking about the 24-70mm f/2.8 L II shot at 24mm, jump to the 600mm II and then it somehow turns in to the 24mm f/1.4L II ???

The New Rumored 24-70 2.8L III will have Zero vignette at all focal lengths and perfect IQ. It will weight in at a reasonable 500 Grams and a MSRP of 1299$ including canons all new 7th generation Image Stablizer providing 8-stops of compensation.

This could be a "rumor" right?

Might be
Can I pre-order now?

Sure, If you've got a spare billion dollars for the R&D. ;D

It has pretty hefty vignetting wide open, for sure...

I am one that is not bothered by vignetting at all though, in fact, I enjoy it. You can always easily correct it in Lightroom with the lens profile if need be.

as has been said, quick fix in LR

I like it too. The vignetting is of course to be expected. This lens has a lot of strengths, including its delightful size. I imagine that to build such a lens without any vignetting, it would have to be much larger (to draw a bigger image circle), heavier and costlier.

And of course it has that built-in anti-vignetting feature: stopping down the aperture.

But then after a bit I get over it. Dylan777 is correct it does have vignetting. As he said as long as it is equal you should be ok.

I don't know if you get over it...but you learn to live with it BECAUSE the lens is SO sharp and REALLY has great fit & finish. Feels incredible in the hands, (and I cannot believe that I am saying that about a zoom). I never felt that way about my 24-105.

Absolutely right. This lens is very sharp even wide open. Vignetting can easily be corrected in LR anyway....

There's a reason to dump FF and go crop now, you won't even notice the vignetting!

Typical! I went from a 7D to a 5D 3 and had to replace my lovely 15-85 EF-S, hence the 24-70. Now I need to go crop.....
That mk3 sounds perfect, I'll start saving now!

 

[Marsu42]

it appears to have very bad vignetting.

"Bad" is only bad if it shows after postprocessing (for jpeg correction is built-in), i.e. when raising the outer areas and then underexposure on top of that so that the shadow resolution drops and noise rises.

So 2ev should be still ok and is not much in comparison to other wide angle lenses like more than 3ev on the 35L.

No, no, no, NOOOO this will be 24-70 2.8L IV not III. You are too optimistic ;D ;D ;D

And we will still complain that the nikon 24-85 F/2.8 IS has more reach and we should jump system. :

Is the 24-70 2.8L IV still EOS mount or the newly rumoured EOS II which converges EF, EF-S and EF-M to a single standard mount?

Work finished for the year, so off to do some testing!
