Anybody try this on full frame? How much does it vignette?
The short answer is it doesn't seem to be much.
The longer answer is that when I got my K-1 I did a test set just
photographing a white door. I just posted those photos for you to look
for yourself:

Here they are after applying profile corrections in lightroom:

In more detail, I found that as much as I loved the da40 on my K-100 and
K-x, since it was a great lens and turned the small dslrs into
pocketable cameras at a very usable focal length, the K-1 was so big
that the smaller lens didn't make enough of a difference over my 28-75
f/2.8 zoom that I ever actually went out photographing with that lens.
I have, since, wished that I had bought the used FA43/1.9 when I had a
chance, but it was just enough bigger than the DA40 and not enough
faster to seem worthwhile at the time.
My suggestion is that unless you're getting an awesome deal on the DA40,
get the FA43 instead, because the slight difference in size won't make
much difference on the K-1, and the extra stop of speed will.
Thanks,
Gonz
