Interestingly, Ricehigh's blog says that the DA 35 macro has severe
vignetting on full frame. When I put the lens on a film body and look
through it I don't notice severe vignetting.  Has anyone actually taken
any photos with this combination?

Has anyone tried other DA lenses?

First thing I did was stick the 18-55 on both the LX and Z1-p. Both seemed to show vignetting in the viewfinder below about 24mm. Allowing for viewfinder discrepancy, I would expect vignetting on film to begin somewhere between 24 and
30mm - probably closer to the former.

To get an accurate idea, you would need to either adapt a lens to something like a Sony A7, ot put some film in your Z1p (I presume it allows aperture control from the body) and shoot some pictures. The size of the image circle changes as the lens is stopped down, so a lens that is no good wide open may be OK stopped down a bit (or a lot).

Shouldn't just worry about the size of the image circle. That may be big enough to cover larger format. But anything outside of the intended format size may be poorly corrected for aberrations CA and very soft compared to the center of the frame.
