tricks to prevent vignette with wide angles?

It seems that with my redrock m2 anything 28mm and smaller has vignette, any tricks to fix this other than zooming in and defeating the purpose of the wide angle?
 
I've tried a soligor 28mm, which isn't too bad, and a vivitar 20mm 3.8 and its got pretty heavy fall off at all apertures. Id love to drop 3-400 dollars on a good 24mm 2.8 but i dont have that money so i might be SOL
 
The old Redrock m2 is known for it's vignette issues. We had a lot of problems with this adapter specially when using a 28mm 2.8 at f5.6, is got really bad sometimes.
 
I had the nikon 28-85mm 3.5-4.5 for a while without any vignetting problems. Decent lens at a reasonable price. Or look into the Tokina 28-85.

ahh sweet! i might look into the nikon one, i just hate not having consistant aperture. The tokina one looks nice too. Any other wide zoom suggestions? i think that might be my best bet right now
 
ive been looking at alot of different wide zooms, 18-28 samyung, 19-35 tokina, 21-35 sigma, 24-50 nikon, 28-85 nikon, 20-35 nikon, any opinons on these? they're all 3.5-4.5 or similar, the 28-85 looks to have the biggest rear element but i want 20 or 24 :/
 
I've seen at B&H some graduated ND filters that had a feathered darker circle in the middle of the glass in order to compensate for WA that vignetted, I have no idea the name or the brand though.
 
So i finally got some money so i can actually purchase something now.

I'm looking into a 24mm 2.8, rear element seems wide enough from pictures, but thats a risk and its 100+ dollars

Other options are samyang 18-28 4-4.5, sigma 21-35 3.5-4.2, nikon 28-85 3.5-4.5 and vivitar 24-70 3.8-4.8 all of these are under 60-70 bucks.

any opinions? could use as much help as possible
