I think you're essentially saying the same thing that I did--increase the
size of the image circle by stopping down until the edge, sharp or
otherwise, is just outside the field of view.

And the cos^4 falloff on a 24 TS-E with 11 mm shift in the long direction
is about 2.6 steps (assuming a 58.6 mm image circle), which often is OK for
a sky but is undesirable in other situations.  Since I'm not aware of a
center filter (radial ND grad) made for this lens, I'm not sure that much
can be done about the dark edges.

Aren't radial NDs used to correct for cos^4 falloff (i.e., reducing the
corner darkening)?  Perhaps Cokin make something that goes the opposite
direction (but I'd probably know if I had one mounted ...).
