70mm limited on film cameras?

I know the 70mm 2.4 limited is designed for the digital sensor but so is the 40mm 2.8 limited and that in fact has a big enough image circle for film.

So I was wondering whether in fact the 70mm also has a big enough image circle for film. Has anybody tried it - or is there anybody who has one and a film body and willing to mount it and look through the viewfinder for vignetting?

I'm tempted by it as a portrait lens - but I could possibly be tempted by the 77 1.8 which obviously I could also use on the MZ6 and the Super A - not that I use them so much these days. However the 77 is almost twice the price!

Do you use the film cameras at all? The last film image I shot was the last frame I exposed for the Images of England project before it closed.

If you do and it's for critical use then maybe the 77mm could be justified.

Really only you can decide.

I do occasionally. I leep a roll of colour slide film in the MZ6 (usually Velvia 100) and a roll of BW in the Super A (usually Delta 400) for a variety of reasons.

(i) I like using older cameras - this applies especially to the Super A. While I am very pleased with my K10D and use it most there is something about using a camera that I actually know how it works and could probably, if pushed, take apart and put back together again

(ii) I have ultra wide lenses which suit them - a K17 fisheye and a (suprisingly good) Cosina 19-35. The widest lens I have for digital is the 16-15 (ie 24mm equiv). I don't use that sort of wide angle enough to realy justify the expense of either the 12-24 (though I may one day stretch to the Sigma 10-20 - its in the balance with the short telephoto...) or the 10-17

(iii) There is nothing quite like getting a box of slides back from the processor and looking at them on a lightbox. And I like the grain on faster BW films when it is enlarged a bit. I know you can add 'grain' in post processing but that feels like cheating to me. I have good film scanning kit so I can move to digital printing quite easily. I currently don't have access to a chemical darkroom, which is a pity.

(iv) both are smaller (and lighter) than my K10D - indeed the Super A and the 50/1.7 will fit in my coat pocket. Of course the Optio is even smaller still but image quality is better from the Super A.
