It's guaranteed but the DA40 seems to be the same optical formula as the old M40mm. Cursory tests seem to indicate that it covers the format but may be softer at the edges and corners, (though sharper at the center), on 35mm than the M40 which is none to sharp there to begin with.

Guys,
I thought the DA lenses were specifically designed with the smaller
image circle of digital in mind.  That is, they are not promised to
cover full frame 35mm film.

Hi Derby,

sounds strange for me... I tried this lens on Z-1p when it was announced
and did not noticed any vignetting on photos. Maybe a BIT vignetting on
viewfinder, but not on photos.

BR, Margus

As a last minute Christmas present to myself, I picked up a near new
DA40mm on eekbay. It is a beautifully made lens.

But looking through the viewfinder mounted on a PZ1, there does look
like quite a lot of vignetting. I'll shoot a couple of frames at
different apertures and focus lengths, and report back.
