Zeiss Vignetting

Is Zeiss vignetting superior to Canon vignetting?

Vignetting is easy to correct in post, but the 'cost' is some extra noise at the edges where the exposure is pushed. OTOH, if you like the effect it's also easy to add in post, with no 'cost' (and I sometimes do). So on the whole, I'd prefer less vignetting - but it's not such a big deal either way.

Hmmm??? ... The answer may actually be yes;

I wouldn't say superior, and this is certainly subjective, but what I find is that the systems in general render differently. For whatever reason, the Zeiss rending style plus some vignetting seems to give images some pop in certain circumstances.

I'd agree that vignetting on a landscape is not ideal, but for subject isolation images it may work more than it doesn't.
