I've heard the Canon WA lenses especially WA Zooms have considerably more light falloff, (and corner softness), than most any other major manufacturer. It's not fair I know, but my only direct comparison is the Canon EF-S 18-55 which a miserable little excuse for a lens compared to my smcp FA 20-35 f4.0. (Yes I am comparing a FF lens against an APS only lens, a DA 18-55 would be a great direct comparison, but I don't have one). But who wants to be fair anyway?
