When I had the MX body, I fitted it to that. It looked excellent, but
I never did get a chance to run any film through that body; sold it
recently.
On the DS, rectilinear correction and vignetting are minimal at most.

I use the FA J 18-35 on my *ist 35mm SLR and like it a lot. I
think it performs surprisingly well, but it does have significant
vignetting at the largest apertures, distortion at the shortest
focal lengths, and that slow f5.6 at 35mm.
I know that Godfrey and others have praised the FA 20-35, which I
am sure is a much better lens. My question is, how much better is
it on 35mm? Is there noticeable vignetting at larger apertures?
Is the image close to rectilinear?
Test images at Dario's site and a few other places helped me pick
the FA J initially. Are there any test shots around showing
results from the FA 20-35 on 35mm? Is anyone using this on a 35mm
body -- what do you think of it? Most of what I've found via
Google is from using the lens on a digital SLR.
Thanks in advance for comments and opinions.
