did anybody try it on full frame L?

did anybody try it on full frame L?
Asked by: jean-marc
When using this lens or any other APS-C format L mount lens on a full frame L mount camera it will automatically crop down to APS-C format. There is no "vignetting". It's just that the pictures are not utilizing the full frame of the sensor for recording but instead an APS-C size cropped version of the sensor.
