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

I have been thinking of posting a related question. When you determine the per lens focus adjustment for a lens on one camera, does that number tend to work on another camera, perhaps with a slight offset. For example if on camera 1 you have lens A +5 lens B +2 lens C -1 would you use the
