    @@hxhdfjifzirstc894 yes. The squeeze is the primary purpose of the anamorphic lens, the flares are just a side effect. Accidentally achieved the same on a recent photoshoot, left a fingerprint on a lens, and didn't have a cleaning wipe. Cleaned it as much I could, but there was still a very thin film of oil on the lens. By wiping down very carefully, it created perfect horizontal streaks emanating from light sources!

    The red oval is supposed to mimic the "squeezed" look of the bokeh from an anamorphic lens and the fishing line to get that flare. I honestly don't know why it was coloured red, other videos show removing the black from the edges of the internal lens elements and repainting them red instead, then re-assembling. My best guess is to get red-coloured circular lens flares, along with the blue horizontal flares. ...but I kind-of expect that a screw-in filter on the front of this particular lens* (Jupiter 9) with a black cardboard oval with blue fishing line would produce the same (or better?) result, plus if you don't like it, simply unscrew it. *Because the front element is right up close to the filter ring, not at the bottom of a conical hole, like a lot of other lenses.

    The globular and rubber tube look very similar, approaching angular magnification from different methods. I'd like to see a tilt/shift on each element. I would love to see the bokeh masks out in nature, evening or night in the city, yeah? Maybe a double slit mask if you like new wave. Have you tried enlarger lenses? Good German glass-50mm to 75 would work (Schneider or Omega) with a short extension tube, no other lens needed, fuzzy almost dreamy edges and a crisp center

    The correct name of the lens is not Mir 1 “B”, but the Mir 1 “V” lens. (The lens is signed in Russian) this is the Russian letter V ->В, not the English letter B ->Б. they are similar, but differ in meaning and sound. (I don’t know why, but Google Translate doesn’t translate correctly either)
