A very similar situation can be observed at 24 mm focal length. At the maximum relative aperture the light fall-off in the frame corners amounts to 29% (-0.98 EV) and by f/4.0 it decreases to 12%. By f/5.6 the vignetting is practically unnoticeable (9%).
On the one hand we can feel a bit unsatisfied because a lens designed for full frame should perform better on a small DX sensor. On the other hand, though, the competitors didn’t fare distinctly better here either.
