Black corners on images..

[Tyler Durden]

I am currently shooting with the 5DMK2 with the 24-70L. Recently I have been encountering black corners during shooting in bright settings. Sometimes this only happens in the bottom left/top right corners. Is this a lens malfunction? I am currently at school so I am unable to upload sample pictures. Thanks guys.

may be vignetting, Vignetting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

another possibility could be that your hood is crooked.

Things that I've seen cause black corners:

- mutiple filters. I see this on my wide angle when I put a CPL filter (I already have a UV filter on). They do sell ultra slim CPLs for this.

- lens hood not properly put on. If you are seeing it happen in random places at random times, this might be the issue.

Im using the hoya USM pro C. I didnt think this filter would cause any problems. I will recheck my lens hood. Thanks for the great info guys.

Line up the 2 dots when fitting the hood

definitely hood issue.

If you are using a screw-on filter, the effect would be seen in all corners since the filter is round and image is rectangular. I agree that your malady is likely due to improper mount of the hood.

Ha! This is the first time I have actually seen someone use these smilies :thumbup:

Hmmm I've had hood malfunctions and it shows up in all the corners... Are you using a flash?

P.S. Holy sensor dust! Or a deformed bird...

Seems like a hood issue to me. I'd take the hood off for a bit and see if you can get it to happen without it.

What focal length is it happening at? If it's happening at the long end then its probably not the hood.

Definitely lens hood issue.

This could be a hood issue. But if it were a hood issue then you would have it in all four corners. Try it without the hood and filter. Then after try it with another cam. Then if that doesn't work then it sure is a lens malfunction. IMHO.

This is very true. If you are shoot it wide then it would definitely be a hood issue.

But then if it happened on the long end ... Then I would suggest having it checked by a technician
