Hmmm, I've noticed on my XF 150-600mm too, it's as if the profile corrections in Lightroom aren't properly matching the lens. I've not noticed it on any other lenses I own and use.

I have also have an XF 150-600 that I use for wildlife videography--mostly birds.  That lens has vignetting from 400 mm - 600 mm when shot at the largest aperture.  In general, I do not notice the vignetting with little sky involved.  However, If I have a bird against a bald sky (frequent occurrence in Arizona) I can have wild vignetting that bounces all over the place.  The only solution is to stop down to f/11 which corrects the issue.  For video, the X-H2S does have peripheral correction.  However, it does not seem to work at 400 mm and above.  I have tried with peripheral correction on and off.  Makes no difference--it just does not work.

I did some research on long telephoto zoom lens and vignetting.  Regardless of company (Sony FE 200-600, Nikon 180-600, Canon 200-800), all suffer from vignetting at their longest focal lengths and wide open--it is function of the design. The solution on all of these lens is to stop down by 1 stop where it virtually disappears.  Based on reports, the amount of vignetting for the XF 150-600 is on the low end from all of the reports that I have read--but then again I would expect it to be lower because this is an APS-C camera.

Hope this helps others,

Don

All lenses are a compromise where the designer has to decide what is most important to correct. Most modern lenses, particularly zooms, rely on software to reduce some faults. This allows the lens designers more leeway to address other problems. Vignetting is usually on the list. It will be corrected in the camera in the case of jpegs or in the software in the case of raw output. If you use raw check that automatic lens correction is enabled.

All of a sudden, I’m getting vignetting with both Fujifilm 18-135 and 55-200.  I don’t use lens hoods so that’s not the cause.  Thoughts anyone?

I had the same problem.  Turned out that my Drive Dial was on ADV and therefor activated a filter (Toy Camera in my case) .....

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
