While I have limited experience with the Cron - only a couple rolls -  
I find it almost hard to believe that the above photo was shot with  
the lens without treating the corners. When I originally saw this  
image (back when you first posted it) I assumed that you'd  
manipulated the corners. I wonder if it is possible for vignetting to  
vary according with individual specimens - seems unlikely.
