Why is this happening?

I took out my new Canon 80D today with a Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 lens attached. Why did I get these black areas in the corners of the photo. This has never happened with this lens before.

When I get those marks it's because the lens hood is not positioned correctly. Usually a quarter turn makes it right again.

Well I'll be !!!! A simple twist of the lens hood did, in fact, solve the problem. Soooooo glad it was nothing technical that I wouldn't understand !! Thank you so much.

In this instance 1/ 8 of a turn.

Not on your topic, but I have the 70D. Is the 80d in your opinion worth upgrading to?

Sounds like my approach to problem solving. Try the simplest thing last. 😜😜

Good question for a separate thread.

I have no experience with the 70D. I upgraded from the 60D and it was definitely the right thing to do. There are several videos on YouTube that address your issue.

I had 70D and had issues. Finally had Canon repair and sold it replaced with 7D II and love it. Just FYI

My bet is your lense hood is not on correctly.
