I have, and while the vignetting is noticeable in shots with open sky etc., it
is not a problem in actual use. I think that the images which sparked this
discussion have some other problem; either the lens is defective, or the filter
causes the problems, or there was faulty processing. My Noctilux never vignettes
to such an extent.
