Every source, including Thom Hogan, says the lens does not fully cover full format...
That is, if you remember to turn off Auto-DX.. else it will appear to do so <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

yes, it doesn't cover fully while focus at infinity, but it does cover fully at close distances that relevant to people photographing, and therefore its an excellent alternative to the very expansive 35mm f/1.4G.
It will be interesting to see a serious test to this lens on the D3x
p.s. even at infinity the vignetting is minor and correctable
