Hmm, you are right to be concerned then. 135mm is a medium telephoto setting and you would have to fit a lens hood several inches long to cause vignetting. I usually associate vignetting more with 35mm/28mm settings or wider.

Have a talk with the retailer and see what they have to say. Did you notice the dark corners in the viewfinder/LCD screen?

Good luck
