I've tested the Pen F 60mm once on my a7 and it covered the full frame sensor really good, have anyone tested on the 38mm 1.8 on it? If it does cover the sensor it sounds like quite the combination, a really fast 35mm-ish that is tiny.

Even if you haven't tested the lens on full frame i'd still appriciate some thoughts on the lens Smile

Barely cover. You should be able to find some samples if you googled.

This is at infinity focus where the vignetting is at it's worst. At closer than infinity (1.5 meters or closer) it's usuable like above.

The Canon 35mm f/1.8 is a even smaller and better option Wink

Is the vingetting mechanical or is it removable with vignett-removal software in post? Also how does the fstop change the vignetting?

Thanks for those resources! The canon 35mm 1.8 is sadly out of my budget Sad

there is vignetting which will be less the more stopped down but extreme corners always stay dark. Nevertheless it is a very fun lens to use on FF, when corners are not important I usually prefer it over both Canon LTM 1.8/35 and 2/35, the Zuiko's sharpness is superior wide open and impressive until near to the corners.
see my samples taken with the Pen-F, the ( right now ) 14 first photos seen had been taken with the A7: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/albums/72157627988053181
