Neither question nor offer, merely a comment:
Last week I bought this lens used for my D700. I shaved off the lens hood on Christmas Eve and now it works beautifully on my D700. So while it may not be "recommended" for FX format cameras it can be used on them very nicely. Because the lens was designed to give you 180 degrees diagonally on a DX sensor, you get over 200 degrees on FX. This allows for full 360 degree panoramas with only 4 shots (mathematically three is enough but the stitching is much less easy). Here is a link to my first panorama (reduced resolution) which I took minutes after shaving off the lens hood; this was taken hand-held (you can see my feet at the bottom and my red sweater) and without much planning or anything, just four quick shots 90 degrees apart:
