I have never whined about anyone's Noctilux vignetting.Having  said that 
I'll admit if I owned one  you could hear me sniffling all the way to 
Montreal.  I did notice the latest W. Eugene Smith Award winner 
(Magnum's Paolo Pellegrin) looks like a corner burner....We did an awful 
lot of it in the 70's. :-P
