I rarely do it, however your idea about a frame composition could require
taking advantage of the medium format film size; this way you get a tele
objective from a regular TLR lens, (the 'cord IV Xenar for this case). In
fact, this is the effect for the rectangular and square masks designed for
the Rollei TLR camera, including the Rolleikin.:

The Rolleicord IV was in good general condition when I bought it, however
the film transport mechanism did not measure the right spacing between
frames; the number 12 was a half frame; this is the case for this shot, I
did not crop it, it's a half neg ( it's from the same roll regarding the
portrait); the problem was solved after a CLA:

OFF TOPIC: It happened to me again, I only had the cellphone to capture
this scene:

I had scanned this portrait years ago with my old scanner, I still had an
amateur account in Flickr.
Now I re-scanned the negative with the Epson v700; it was taken with the
Rolleicord IV Xenar at f4, camera handheld, Agfa APX 100 film developed in
Rodinal 1+25:
