william_buhles Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 <p>Is anyone else seeing vignetting on the 28-300 Nikkor? Mine is a brand new lens, shooting with a D700, and there is significant vignetting at longer focal lenghts even at f/8. As I reduce the zoom the effect gets lessened until at about 50 mm it is gone. Need to know if all 28-300 show this or if my lens is defective. Thanks. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot1 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 <p>Can you post some samples? My copy doesn't (I think) vignette any more than another other lens I use. Also, check to make sure your sun shade is on and locked in correctly.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_wong2 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 <p>It sounds fine. Are you using a D700? If so then put vignette compensation on. That usually does a pretty good job. In fact I forgot it even existed.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william_buhles Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 <p>Thank you. With D700 set to Vignetting control High the problem is much reduced.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william_buhles Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 <p>Thank you Shun, that is exactly what I am seeing without the vignetting reduction turned on.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
