Some new unseen problem came to my A7R2. The pictures upper edge is gradually dark on open aperture, it disappears when diaphragm closed down. If not this, I would say that it is a shutter's problem, but it's not. How can this be explained?

Here are the samples, 200 f3,5 lens, one done with open, another with f5,6 :

IMO it's still a shutter problem with shorter exposures. With the diaphragm wide opened the exposure is shorter and the curtains open and close coupled allowing a slit.
With the diaphragm closed the curtains open and close separately. Probably the problem is when the curtains are moving coupled allowing a slit.

Vignetting + a slight sag in the adapter?

The first photo was taken with 1/6400 shutter speed. My guess is it is a shutter problem. Try using other lenses at that shutter speed. I would expect all lenses will show the same dark band. My A7 does..

Thank you. The trouble is the same with all other lenses and stared a couple of month ago. Is it curable?

A quick google search shows some people claiming EFCS to cause the problem. Does turning the electronic front curtain shutter off help in your case?

Yes, this is a well known issue in some cases. Try to turn off El. Front curtain... Like 1 small
