Vignetting?

[Le Chef]

I took some shots today with my CL+11-23. I use the official lens hood, but it looks like I'm getting vignetting in the top corners. The lens hood is mounted with the deeper sections of the hood at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The "11-23" script on the lens hood is at 12 o'clock when clicked into place. I'm using LR 5.5 so not sure if there were lens corrections that were not around or updated at that time. Any thoughts?

If it were vignetting you would get it on the bottom as well. This is just the natural gradient in the sky, enhanced by the normal light falloff to the corners by any lens

Looks like a mistake in software correction. You should use LR6 at least. It got full support for Leica CL and all 7 TL lenses. LR 5 did not, so you are stuck with DNG bare minimum support. 
 

TL 11-23 rely heavily on software correction at all focal length : vignetting and distortion.

Agree with the benefits of using recent software.  But: no vignetting at the bottom? I cannot imagine that the lack of correction only occurs on half the image.
