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.
