Cat eyes observations ...
#1
Just to illustrate the effect when stopping down ... taken at f/1.2, 1.6, 2, 2.8 (from the RF 50).

Also, note the shutter effect at f/1.2 (taken at 1/4000sec).

Do you have an explanation for the "shutter effect"? Did you shoot with full mechanical shutter?
And the effect is called "cat's-eye", not "cat eyes" ;-)

Great vignetting test. How much, 3 stops?

Cat’s eyes are caused by mechanical vignetting, which is unavoidable with large aperture lenses consisting of more than 1 element fitted to some sort of barrel

Optical vignetting is caused by the unavoidable light fall-off due to light rays falling in at an angle in the image projection by a lens, the cos^4 rule.

Kind regards, Wim

Regarding the weird effect at f/1.2 and 1/4000sec - thinking about it - it may not have been the shutter but a flickering effect from the (LED-)lights.

BTW, multiple "Cat's eye" as shown are surely "cat eyes" ;-)

Thank you for the explanation Wim. I was aware only for one type of vignetting

@ Klaus - Are this light dimmable. If yes - well-known Led manufacture gives the flickering factor

I thought I'd give it a go ( as I was out late-ish).

all images are SOOC and taken with canon 7D mark ii + canon 50mm f 1.8

#7749 @ f1.8 1/60 ISO 400
#7689 @ f1.8 1/80 ISO 1250
#7717 @ f1.8 1/160 ISO 1250

No!

It's the "cat's eye effect"......... (cat) 's .... belonging to the cat

When tested the lens produced cat's eyes towards the edges and borders of the frame.....
