"Circles" - MM Instant Party Remix
(Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 1:3,5/105mm enlarging lens)
"Circles" was intended to be The Who's contribution to the psychedelic wave of 1966/67, but it has not been released for several reasons. So, the single on this photo is a reissue of a vinyl that only existed as promotional copies. The song itself was later released as flip side of the famous "Substitute" single, but now named as "Instant Party".
In order to get some psychedelic bokeh bubbles "into" the centre hole without exceeding the MM rules, I had to find a lens that creates bubbles/circles that are small enough to remain visible as whole circles. The Xenar 105mm, a Tessar-type enlarging lens provides quite round "circles", even stepped down to f/5,6, due to its numerous blades.
