This is very cool! I love the effect that you get! Supposedly Voskhod does that type of imagery without any modifications.

Very good! there are several loupes which can be used for that purposes. I tried some jewellers loupes and oculars from broken binoculars they do excellent wide angles. I just developed a 15mm wide angle conjugating a 25mm fl jewellers loupe with a front negative lens of a 0.8 cheap wider At f 11 it rivals the famous Hologon and has no vignetting nor variable density in the picture.
if you have a precision lathe you can built your own. I shall give you all technical data.

Note: broken binocular objectives give excellent telephotos.
The Kazan 8x30 binocular objective has exact 135mm.
The Sergei Pozad 16x60 has a good 300mm.

Thank you for describing your self-made lens. Is is useful
