Flyjin in Montréal
Photo taken with a 1954–1956 ISCO–Göttingen Kiptar 45mm ƒ/1.6 projection lens.
With strong background highlights, this lens shows significant swirl, but here it produced pronounced edge softness instead.

I shot the same subject with three different lenses, with a composition that I felt suited each:
• Helios-44-2 58mm ƒ/2: swirly with spectral highlights
• Auto Revuenon 55mm ƒ/1.4: dreamy painterly style with gentle swirl
• ISCO Kiptar 45mm ƒ/1.6: swirl vortex with dynamic highlights
• Helios-44-2 58mm ƒ/2: swirly with spectral highlights
• Auto Revuenon 55mm ƒ/1.4: dreamy painterly style with gentle swirl
• ISCO Kiptar 45mm ƒ/1.6: swirl vortex with dynamic highlights

Trying out the swirliest projection lens ever! The ISCO–Göttingen Kiptar 45mm ƒ/1.6, from around 1954–1956.
It more than covers full-frame in one direction, but with heavy vignetting in the corners.

A composite image with the ISCO Kiptar 45mm ƒ/1.6
This lens has been so much fun to use, but it shows heavy vignetting in the corners, while in the short direction a lot of the swirly background gets cropped out.
So here I decided to expand the image circle by stitching about 10 photos together.
