[Leica] Bat Bending Strength: The Ted Gran Effect?

[Robert Adler]

Trying out the M 135 f/3.4 ASPH on a Fuji X-T1, as a potential longish lens
solution. This visual phenom occurred (no photoshop!).

Ted Grant has an image, "Martha," that seems to be somewhat similar to this
effect:

I think Ted has never been able to explain why this happened: he knows what
he was doing when he took the image, but how it happened eludes him.

Perhaps nothing to do with Ted's effect, but interesting...

BTW, this is your Mother's Day photo quiz: knowing the equipment, do you
know why this happened?

Happy mother's day to all the amazing moms out there!!
