Playing with dioptres again but not to such a severe extent this time. Was able to open up the aperture to f/1.4 and play with some lighting to pick out shapes and translucency... And a lens flare ;) Anamorphic fo' realz.
Back again trying to do macro-photography with anamorphics. As far as I know, doing this sort of thing with this lens setup is all kinds of stupid. Nevertheless, I think the result is quite pretty - largely on account of lovely work by the very talented Miae Kim [antige.etsy.com].
To make this happen though I had to use every dioptre I had, including ones that blatantly didn't fit, necessitating the use of packing tape.
