Title: [INVALID] 5D3 started vignetting (and LCD in dark)
Post by: adrjork on May 22, 2018, 11:55:10 PM
Hi everyone,
I've a 5D3 since a couple of years. Since last month, I noticed a big vignetting in all the new photos (never noticed before). A comparison between "old" photos made with Tamron 24-70 + filter, with new photos made with the same lens + filter, reveals evident vignetting only in the most recent photos.
What's the reason?

I started noting this issue after a backlight (landscape with sun in the frame) shooting session.

I also started noting that the camera's LCD seems darker (I have to set the brightness on max level in menu settings!)
Which is, in your opinion, the problem?
HERE (https://www.dropbox.com/s/an3it9u3li45a40/vignetting.zip?dl=0) are an example: 3 photos: the first 2 photos are "old" (24-70 at 35mm and 24mm) and there isn't vignatting, while the 3rd is "new" (24-70 at 36mm) revealing an evident vignetting.


Many thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds like a faulty lens.

There is a vignette effect or is it vignette removal in ML menu? (sorry, i dont have my camera around). Perhaps you accidently turned it on?

But i recommend trying a different lens? Stop it down to 5.6-8, at those apertures there should be no vignette.

And i cant see the pics, my connection is too bad.

Thank you Kharak for your reply and the tip about ML vignetting (I sincerely didn't know that).
I think I understand the vignetting issue: probably the LCD is a non-related issue, and about the vignetting itself, the issue was not the filter but the Xume adapter which I use after the UV to eventually quickly stack NDs.
Probably I have never clearly noticed it before because I mainly do videos, not photos (in video mode, the slightly smaller sensor portion "cuts out" almost all the Xume super-vignetting border).
Thank you anyway, and sorry for my stupid topic.

Oh! I didn't know that. I'll surely check (but I didn't change too much in Canon menu...) Anyway thanks for this info!
