I really do like these images. Very cool stuff as it is such an interesting aesthetic. It is very easy to get this stuff wrong I think, so kudos on getting it right :_D

I love this kind of photography. Still not decided what to buy, a quality "microlenses" soft filter or a meniscus lens inserted into a Helios body. The price is about the same, around 100USD.

I like what you wrote. I think meniscus lens will win;)

edri, thank you!
Classic way - monolens (meniscus), or (better) achromatic lens, if you find it.

Now when I was ordering a meniscus lens you say it's better with an achromat lens. Wink Why?
I have 3 achromat lenses, but they are for close up photography (+2, +3 +4).
Have I to use this somehow for pictorialism and not spend money for the meniscus lens?

I do not have an achromatic lens. But I know that the color with the achromatic lens better.
Close up lenses will not fit. Must be chosen by experimentation.

I ordered a meniscus lens. It will take a few weeks to get to me. Until then I'd like to learn something about using this type of lens. Please can you give some links to tutorials on using meniscus lens?

I have no tutorials. My tutorials - the works of artists - Impressionists and early photographers - pictorialists (Camera Work)
