I'm not sure who this is I found a few weeks ago, but his Vivitar is swirling quite a bit:

He mentions "optical vignetting" as the cause, with his definition; "trying to make a lens cover a bigger piece of film (or digital sensor) than it was meant to."
That doesn't make much sense to me, many lenses will cover more than their recommended size, but we don't do it because of the loss of sharpness. Anyway, it's another example of a design doing the spins.
