I have posted examples of this lens' twin sister 55/1.8 on the GFX sensor in the adjacent thread. The 55/1.8 is amazing on the larger GFX sensor. Practically no vignetting, and sharp. Following the pattern, the 55/1.4 vignettes more here, although in my real-life applications this is not noticeable. Shooting portraits at night and in low light vignetting is a non-issue for me. So I am posting some samples here. All with the 55/1.4 on the GFX 50R.

Yes, those look great. Vignetting - what there is of it - clearly isn't a significant issue in this case.

Strangely I don’t really see vignetting in the second last image.
But quite surprising you can use these lenses so good on such a sensor!

For some time I wonder whether more vintage FF SLR lenses that show good IQ up to the edges of FF sensors also cover larger sensors with good results.

Another Mamiya-Sekor could then be the CS 35mm 2.8.

I wonder how other brands do. This is pretty impressive.

A few years ago Ken Wheeler tested a whole slew of vintage glass on his GFX 50, and reported that most of them worked very well:
