I've wondered about this, specifically in reference to Stephen Holloway's
fine use of the Noct (see www.deepturtle.com): he seems to shoot it wide
open (at least the DOF is incredibly shallow) but there's no evidence of
vignetting in the corners.  Has he cleaned it up in photoshop, found another
way around it, or is he shooting at higher apertures?  Stephen?
