I have three 20, 25 and 42. I expect the 42/1.2 to cover the frame, based on hearsay, but not the wider ones. I'll be able to post samples at some point if you are interested, FF body coming around 12/1


Do that! My copy may also show up around the same period Wink

I can confirm that the 60mm f/1.5 covers FF nicely Very Happy

I will post samples later from the A7R.
The 20mm vignettes pretty much. I have not tested the 42mm f/1.2 yet, but my guess is little or none vignetting from 42mm and up.

20mm f/3.5 vignettes heavy
38mm f/1.8 vignettes just slightly when focus is far (not mechanical)
40mm f/1.4 vignettes mechanical when focus is far, it is ok when focus is near.
42mm f/1.2 vignettes mechanical when focus is far, it is ok when focus is near.
60mm f/1.5 is ok
70mm f/2 is ok
100mm f/3.5 is ok or just a tiny slight fall off in the corners

a while ago I had made a flickr group dedicated to Pen-F lenses, please anyone join and share your photos. It has been a long while, just now I checked submitted photos and saw that there are stunning samples of photos taken on Sony A7 FF, specially with the 1.8/38. Often used wide open, there is vigneting, but masterfully used: https://www.flickr.com/groups/pen-f_lenses/pool/

Sebboh @ FM uses the 42/1.2 to great effect. (First 3 on A7)
