It doesn't vignette, but whether it helps, I'm not sure as I haven't done any specific "with / without" tests in sidelighting. On the same camera, the supplied petal lens hood on my Sigma 17-35 appears to give essentially no protection to stray light, and I've frequently noticed a slight drop in overall contrast, which I sometimes fix in Photoshop using USM values opf 30, 60, 0.
