Sheffield Wheel and Town Hall

Taken with a Gelto-DIII camera in week 10 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

This camera takes 127 rollfilm, I re-spooled some 35mm colour negative film into a 127 backing paper. I am puzzled by the out of focus centres, with sharp peripheries, I would have expected the opposite from a low quality lens (though I think this lens is reasonable one anyway). It could be due to the film bulging away from a flat plane, but I'm not convinced. I scanned the negatives to include the sprocket holes, as the original frame size is 3cm x 4cm, so the whole width of the 35mm film is exposed, including the spaces between the perforations.
