It's hard to visually detect cropping in the finder of a camera. For the
cost of a roll of film and maybe some batteries you could get a very
good idea.
I have only a few DA lenses.
I use the XR 40mm on film bodies regularly and find very slight
distortion along the edges of the frame, more pronounced at closer
focusing. To be honest, not much worse than the FA 28-105 power zoom,
which was designed for film. I consider it perfectly usable but I
somewhere read a review of it that said it was not. I deem it to be fine.
I tested the 16-45 f4 zoom and found vignetting starting at around 20
mm. I was assessing where it could serve as an untra wide angle zoom on
a film body in a pinch - It could but you would have to be very careful.
Other than those lenses I only have the 18-55, which I never tested and
the 17-70 which can't auto focus on a film body . afaik.

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?
