Does your 31 lim on K1 show vignetting? For me, this is probably the most annoying. Until I got used to taking this fact into account and framing a little wider.

Oh yes it does, very much so, especially at or near 1.8. But I'm postprocessing the pictures anyway, depends on the picture if I let DxO correct the vignetting or not, sometimes the natural vignetting helps make the subject pop more, sometimes it would be very noticable if uncorrected, but it's just a single click in the software and a matter of taste in the end. I don't typically add an artificial vignette to my pictures, but on some pictures I love the effect of a natural vignette caused by the lens.

On those two pictures I did not uncheck the correction, but it wouldn't have been very noticable on those I think.

I rarely shoot with the aperture open. Therefore, the vignette looks unattractive. Just dark corners. And using a lens profile does not eliminate this disadvantage. I need to crop about ten percent of the frame. This is strange, because such glass appeared on film cameras and, in theory, should cover the entire field of the frame.
