    Your theory about the mechanical vignetting is interesting. I have had a lot of trouble with vignetting on my 90mm Optar when using filters held in by an old Series lens hood, and have thought about grinding one down to eliminate the problem. It would be really interesting if the lens housing itself was causing vignetting.

    Michael, I have to say I haven't tested my 90 EXWA further and I believe/suspect the vignetting is mechanical. It could well be my handmade lens board. I should do more tests.
