Now, THAT’s a classic lens that I haven’t heard anything about in a long time. I owned one in my Nikon F period in the early ‘80s. The severe vignetting is nice for teleportraits like yours, less so for a lot else!

It’s a good illustration of why we users of catadioptric telescopes for astrophotography have to take ‘flats’ of a blank cloud cover in order to correct the illumination in post-processing.
