Swimming with the Razorfishes

Karen Nakamura mentioned that there was conversation on an EOS mailing list about the new 5Ds vignetting excessively with wide angle lenses. She pointed to an example.

Below is a shot of the profoundly unimaginative courtyard in front of my building shot at 16mm, first at f/2.8, then at f/5.6.

The lens is a Canon 16-35 L. The vignetting is visible, but I'm not sure if it is much different than I'd see on film (I've never shot film with this lens). Very wide zooms do vignette.
