8. Vignetting

First, let's check the Viltrox vignetting levels on the smaller APS-C sensor. Appropriate thumbnails you can find below.

Even at the maximum relative aperture, vignetting is not especially bothersome, with a value of 28% (-0.94 EV). The change of aperture into f/1.4 decreases this aberration to 17% (-0.53) and by f/2.0 it becomes almost completely imperceptible, dropping to 10% (-0.30 EV).

After passing to the bigger full frame sensor there are noticeably more problems, and the photos below show them pretty well.

At the maximum relative aperture, the result is high and reaches 64% (−2.92 EV). Still, when compared to the 73% shown by the older Sigma A 35 mm f/1.2 DG DN, you might consider it rather reasonable.

By f/1.4 this aberration reaches 57% (-2.46 EV), by f/2.0 it decreases to 41% (-1.52 EV), and by f/2.8 it amounts to 36% (-1.28 EV). Some issues can still be noticed by f/4.0, where we determined a level of 29% (-1.01 EV). Further stopping down doesn't provide any measurable effects whatsoever.
