I don't own any Pentax K mount film cameras so cannot check coverage. If I had a Pentax film SLR camera, I would have kept the FA77.
The DA40 Limited is very similar in design to the old M40/2.8, it's design and coatings have been 'tuned' for the digital SLR bodies' 16x24 format, so I doubt it vignettes on the 24x36 mm format. The DA70/2.4 Limited, on the other hand, is a completely new design for the 16x24 format, like the DA21/3.2 Limited. How they perform on 24x36 film is irrelevant to their design requirements ...
