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.
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.

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