Sam, Taylor, anyone else with this lens and a FX camera, can we see more photos with this lens on FX please? Brick walls are beneath FM'ers. Really.

Maurice - I'm just going to keep posting to other threads. The only reason I posted the brickwall to this thread is to counter the ridiculous premise.

shooting with this lens on a d700/d3, you can only get 6mp resolution correct?

Not if you turn off "Auto DX Crop" in the "Image Area" section. The samples provided here are with the 35/1.8 in FX mode. The caveat is vignetting, a bit of softness in the corners.

You can 'override' the DX crop mode and use it as you would use an FX lens, with vignetting.

All of my tests have been done with the hood on, since I always use hoods. I haven't tested to see if it makes a difference, but looking through the viewfinder with the hood on or off does not seem to make a difference. The 35G's hood is quite small - maybe not quite an inch deep and no scalloping.

Simply, the easiest way for me to "see" the vignetting. Effectively done.

When I see brick walls with 100% crops done with lenses with huge field curvature and focusing issue tendencies is when I look the other way.

I'm new to Nikon dslr. Is the override a simple procedure? (Have D700)
Thanks.

Never mind - apparently it's a menu item.

Yes, its fairly simple but hard to find. Its in the shooting menu, under Image Area. Disable automatically switching to DX when a DX lens is mounted and set the default frame as FX.

Thanks. I did find it in the menus. Have to try it tomorrow with the 35.

This is a rather strange thread

. Why would anyone buy this as a sub standard FX lens with the perfectly good f2 available (which I have for DX

)

What I find amusing is that you constantly hear all the whining about how HORRIBLE the 70-200 is on FX because of the DISASTROUS corner performance - but this one is wonderfull on FF

I think i expect a lens that sells for over 2K now to perform better than one costing 1/10th the price. Wouldn't you?
