I've never tried it (because I've never had one) but it's my
understanding that Canon EF-s (APS-C) mount lenses can't be mounted on
full-frame cameras. I also understand that that's not true of Tamron
and Tokina EF-s mounts. If you have a mountable lens I don't see why
cropping in the "pooter" won't work as well as Nikon's solution although
without the viewfinder mask.
