I have film results from the FAJ 18-35mm too (on an MZ-5n). The following are all at 18mm, unsharpened:

The sun is in the frame on this one:

Indoors with bounce flash:

It has its weaknesses, especially wide open at 18mm and at its closest focus position:

Very light, but not as "loose" feeling as some FA zooms like the 28-70mm f/4.

I finally tried the 18-35 on a film camera this morning.
I used a Program Plus.
That little sucker is actually a decent optic, though it's a slow one.
Not a lot of fall off in the corners, and it stays straight and sharp to the
edges.
Not having an aperture ring is a bit of a bust, as it does limit how the
thing gets used, but it's still an OK lens.
