I'm a bit concerned about the darkening towards the corners?
I'm posting the full image, no cropping.
Is this to be expected?

Hi Jakob,
I'd be almost certain that you've got some vignetting there, and I bet that you had the lens wide open when you took that shot. It's quite common in many lenses to get vignetting when the lens is wide open, but what you've got there is pretty bad. The only solution is to stop the lens down (maybe only 1/2 or 1 stop), or send the lens back. If your not happy with it send it back and get a Nikon 18-200 VR. It costs a bit more but I'm yet to hear a bad thing about them. Another option is the 18-55 and 70-300 which together cost less than the 18-135.
Apart from the lens, what do you think of the D80? Nice shot too btw!
