I have not made any test shots, but I did mount the DA 21 on my MX and the LX. It shows severe vignetting with the hood (as expected), and still very noticable vignetting without it. It is a rather abrupt vignetting in all four corners, with a usable image circle of about 39 to 40 mm I would say. (would allow for a 22x33mm crop) This is as seen on the LX groundglass directly, no viewfinder mounted, and nearly closed aperture.

Relevant, perhaps not, but certainly interesting. Quite a few people seem to have both film and digital, and I was just curious if anyone had tried it. I have to admit, I am tempted by the new K100D, and compactness is very important to me. Not a big deal, in any event, I suspect someone will fool around with it before long. *UncaMikey --- Godfrey DiGiorgi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I haven't seen anything yet, Mike.
