As for Petapixel's comment, - it is strange by itself. Many lenses
are compatible with both crop sensor and full frame DSLRs, but may have
somewhat limited use on the full-frame cameras (smaller image circle,
vignetting, ...)

That is interesting.
I am trying to grok why it would not work at infinity on a full frame

be more pronounced at full extension (i.e. in macro mode) and not at
