It looks like a reflection inside a 3rd rate lens of a 5th rate camera.

I checked the negatives, and it's not on the film.
I had another idea about what might have caused this. Earlier in the day, I had
turned off the filtration on the enlarger in order to just get white light,
because I was testing some film (the BTZS thing). I forgot to turn the
filtration back on when making the prints. The contrast was ok so I didn't
notice that the filtration was off. I wonder if that might have caused the
weird donuts.
I don't know if I'll have time to reprint those negatives today before I go
back to TN at noon. If I do, and if it goes away, I'll let y'all know.
Is there any limit to the number of ways a person can f*** up their prints? I
seem to have been trying lately to push the envelope that way.
