this is so amazing and makes me cry, but is it possible to achieve this effect with a medium or small format camera? I want to take circular photos but a fish eye filter is out of question because of distortion. applying tape would be a solution, but pic related has this particular effect, the flares at the top - the picture looks like a bubble or a big glass button, which is lovely. are there any lens filters or overlays which would help to achieve this effect? ofc the border will be inevitably black, but that's not a problem

the "flares"are from uneven pressure and unevenly spread developer. this is only possible in instant film. if you want a circular image with negatives just shoot square and use a matte when printing, or crop circular in post if you use a digital workflow
