The camera is my dad's old Agfa. He bought it at a flea market when I was a kid, and fixed it up. He used it for years. When he died 27 years ago, I inherited it. I haven't used it for probably the last 25 years.
Shot in my basement with two worklights at 1000w each through umbrellas, and -0.7EV on the camera. Cut circle out of black matboard to get black around the lens.
In Photoshop:
-cropped to square
-selected the rings around the lens and inversed the selection
-used levels adjustment to change the black point
-cloned and burned to clean up still light areas of the black background
-inversed selection again
-dodged & burned around the rings
-resized to 640x640
-USM 85/1/4
-healing tool to clean up some dust spots on lens
