I didn't want to bring it up but that is a good point. I have done
a little photography over the years, both standard lenses and macros.
In shots like this you will get a little out of focus on the peripheries
but the vignetting should mostly occur around the square courners of
the image and not with a straight demarcation line like I have been
seeing lately around here. The focal blur will conform to the round
shape of the lens.

This is YAGGI and the goof ball is excellent. Where is the Tee ?

  #declare GolfTee =
  union     {
  difference{
  cylinder  { y*4, y*6, 1}
  sphere    { y*8, 2.25}
  torus     { 1, 0.8 scale <1,2.25,1> translate y*4}}
  cylinder  { y*0.295, y*4.99, 0.2}
  cone      { 0, 0, y*0.95, 0.2}}

  object {GolfTee translate y*-3.5
  pigment{red 1}
  finish {ambient 0.3 diffuse 0.35 phong 0.25}
  normal {gradient x .5 scale<0.05,.5,0.05>}}
