Forums > Back > Zoom Lens: More vignetting in tele than in wide angle
#1
Hi everybody,

 

I am a proud owner of the Tamron 24-70 VC which I use on the Canon EOS 6d.

 

During developing of my Holiday photos, I have discovered that some of the photos Show significant shadows in the Corners / vignetting, but mostly in the right side of the picture.

 

All those photos had in common that they had a rather small aperture (6.3-9) and were shot towards the tele end of this lens (60-70mm).

 

My - and probably everybody's - first guess would be a badly fitting Hood or a UV Filter... but the Problem isnt solved by removing those.

 

Wide angle photos, even with bigger apertures, look fine and don't show asymmetrical vignetting.

 

What could be the reason? Do i have a decentered lens? Can it be caused by the Image Stabilisation?

 

And why is it worse in Tele than in Wide Angle?

 

Unfortunately the weather is so bad here that I don't have the sky and light conditions to try to reproduce the Situation until now..

 

Looking Forward to your Input Smile

Well, that does not look as "bad" as you described, and yes, it can have to do with the IS pulling the IS element to a side. Try without IS to see if there is a difference.

I think it's not a decentered lens, here are photos that i shot consecutively with activated VC.. note the Bird.

 

It seems to be affected by a "nervous" image stabilizer plus the angle of the sun: (Sun from the back left --> more vignetting on the right side and vice versa)

 

No VC, no hood, no filter and sun directly from the back didn't lead to any photos with this problem.

 

So I think it is not an optical problem and rest my case. Thanks for listening anyway!
