This would be the equivalent of the centre filter used in super-wide and
panoramic phtography where vignetting is unavoidable. The Voigtlander 12mm
Heliar rectilinear lens, for example, offers an adaptor to fit a 77mm
filter just for this purpose as it loses at least a stop from centre to
edge. Given the price of these filters (about as much as a nice OM-1 in
some cases) then someone somewhere has to have beaten the problem in
Photoshop. Panorama Tools sites might be a lead.
This may do it -

but it's not clear how it works.
Unfortunately, they don't offer the Darken Filter and B/W Conversion in the
same packages. Bugger.
