Buying a Nikon FM10. Will it work with my DX lenses?

Will a Nikon FM10 (film) be able to mount my AF-S DX NIKKOR lenses? It says on the website that it will work. I'm wondering if anyone has personal experiences with using a DX on this film camera.

The image will bE smaller than the frame, so it will be dark in the corners.

You will experience severe vignetting when using a DX lens on your Nikon FM10. Why? Because the image circle of the DX format lens is too small to fully cover the 24mm x 36mm film frame.

The DX lenses will physically fit (as will any Nikon F mount lens) but due to the film size being smaller than the DX size, you will get vignetting in the corners (ie the image will cover a smaller circle than the 35mm film format.
