John H: Looks pretty good. What's up with the shadow on the lower left corner?
Rafael: Good question John, looking at many other shots with the sky It is there lightly in most. Will check camera sensor and lens.
Tested the left corner shadow on the new to me 800mm 5.6, it is visible in a picture of the empty sky with capture nxd set to vivid and both contrast sliders to the max, it is not visible at all at normal settings. The shadow becomes minimal at f/8 and is gone by f/11 regardless of settings, there is no effect on sharpness. the shadow will not be visible with subjects in the frame and vivid contrast settings. I will keep the lens as there is no practical effect.
Tested with two cameras, with and without shades and filters/holder, all these had no effect.
