No, I don't have a vignetting problem with the original
FED shades.

I checked them "by opening the shutter on B and sighting
through the back corners to see if the shade edges are
visible" as Greg suggested.

They fit perfectly. If they were just a little narrower,
they would vignette.

However, I have to admit that they are of limited value
for me because I often use 27mm snap-on filters. In this
case the shades aren't usable any more ...
