Edge vignetting? Could it be the shutter?

It seems like on some of my shots with the M3, the left edge (maybe 1/4th of the frame) has vignetting. I don't have any shots of a solid wall with even lighting to demonstrate it, but it's on some shots and not others. It's sort of visible on this one:

The lighting was pretty even I think, but the left side is darker than the right side, especially on the trees and stuff in the foreground. That was one of a few shots I took to try and stitch together, but that didn't work because there was a dark line on the left side of each shot....

I don't know if it could be the lens (Voigtlander 35mm 2.5), but maybe it's something to do with the shutter? Should I send it to someone for a CLA? I didn't when I got it because I was too poor and spent too much for the camera anyway, but I'll be able to soon.
 
Yeah, it looks like it's the shutter that prolly' isn't moving at the same rate over the whole frame. Looks like you'r going need to send it away for a CLA.
