yes the Tamron show strong vigneting compare to the Canon at large opening. And the Canon is constant for the sharpness from the center to corner compare to the tamron.

If you click on any picture, you have on the bottom the option to get the original, by clicking on the Original link.

Other option is clicking on the picture too, and adding "/original.jpg" at the end.

Regards,

Frank

After looking at the photos again I believe there is more vinyetting in the Tamron lens at 2.8. The sky looks darker in the corners. Would you be kind enough to direct me to the full size photos ~6,000 x 4000 size. Thanks Mal

These photos look identical at the magnifications you are giving i.e. thumbnail or 800 pixel size. An 800 pixel size photo - (most of the screen size) is the equivalent for resolution purposes to a 2 x 3 inch photo (based on 300 DPI for a print). In order for us to see any real differences we need the original jpeg at full size. Any camera can be used to take a photo used for a postage stamp - the differences is in the enlargements.
