However the effect may be exacerbated by JPEG processing in camera which increases contrast and saturation while discarding some image information. Raw gives you much more room for post correction of course. Keep in mind that the (in-camera) correction is the minimum required (designed for stopped down rather than wide open) since the camera cannot accurately determine aperture in use and needs to avoid possible over correction. The latest firmware also has increased that firmware correction for some wides. Also your content, exposure decisions and post processing will affect how apparent the corner darkening is. Some vignetting is normal as I'm sure that you appreciate. The classic example is a shot of snow and add to that underexposure corrected in post and you have the worst case. Difficult to be more specific without seeing your results of course. Finally you don't have a UV/IR fitted do you or some mechanical vignetting?
