No correction done because lightroom don't have the profile for it.

Hmmm..... very noticeable barrel distortion. Doesn't look complex though. Maybe can be easily corrected.
We need to get things in perspective (pun intended).
Even for the venerable Nikon 14-24 f/2.8, this is what Photozone says:
"Wide open, the amount of vignetting is very visible, especially at the shorter focal lengths. Stopping down helps to reduce vignetting considerably, but at least half a stop remains even here." Note the > 0.5 stop of vignetting persists up to f/11.
For the Canon 16-35 f/4L, this is what Photozone says:
"The amount of vignetting is very high (2.1EV) at 16mm @ f/4 although this isn't any worse than on the old EF 17-40mm f/4 USM L. Stopping down to f/5.6 improves the issue significantly and at f/8 it is pretty acceptable within the difficult full format scope. The light falloff remains visible at longer focal lengths & wide-open aperture but most of the corner shading is acceptable by f/5.6 already." The persistent > 0.5 stop of vignetting also persists for the Canon wide-angle lens.
So, nothing to get excited about.

Why is Canon Singapore price it so cheap? This is the first time that an agent set costs lesser than a grey set.
What I can recall, there are a few, local set is cheaper than grey set: -)
