The amount of vignetting is not unusual
Canon EF 400mm
It is a bit of a pain to use
barrel distortion and some full-frame body corner softness
infinity focus is lost with ETs in place
Sigma nor Tamron produces a lens in the same league of this lens
the sensor demands just a little bit more from the lens
the corners are a full stop darker than the center of the image
it is no longer actively produced by Canon
the holder takes only clip-on gelatin filters
lacks image stabilization
Vignetting is no longer evident at f/10
slight corner vignetting
Vignetting was only just visible in test shots of blue sky
Slower shutter speeds were possible when the lens was tripod mounted
Canon RF 135mm
It can be a bit cumbersome to use
less expensive EF-S zooms
make screw-on filters for this range of telephoto
slightly noisy) Image Stabilization
It can not be changed in post processing
Noticeably heavier and therefore more difficult to handle
all quite prone to getting hit by stray light
Nikon glass to E-mount cameras does not work as well as Canon glass
small dots are dust spots on that door
