View Full Version : Any vignetting on a full format lens (Nikon AF-S 14-24 f/2.8) ?

Because of the hood, it´s not proper the use of a matte box with the new Nikon AF-S 14-24 f/2.8:

But I have a doubt.

Considering its full format, will there be any case of vignetting with the Red One coupling a matte box?

I mean if we´re just using a smaller central portion (22.2x12.6) of the 36x24 full format glass... Or am I wrong?

Probably not, but only testing will tell.

Thanks. So, the fact of being a full format lens makes all the difference right?

Does it mean that if it was a DX format lens, would it vignette?

Hi,

No a DX lens should not vignette, many do however porthole wide open.

No Stephen. He's referring to that lens with a hood plus a matte box.

Would we lose the look around (ie. 4.5K) area with a DX lens?

Hi Gorden,

My answer is still correct, the Nikon zoom lens I bought with my D70 portholes quite badly.
