I have converted Vivitar 2x converter as a macro extension tube to SMC Takumar 135 mm Macro.
I was about to sell this lens together with the tilt-shift adapter after trying it on leaves, trees, flowers etc, but decided to give it a one more try.
Again, I did not want spend money on a macro bellows, so decided to play with the Vivitar converter (what else Vivitars are for?...joke).
I may post a separate thread to show what was done, but for now enjoy the video.

Yeah, and with pixel shift on, it looks like a great marriage!

Same here. You're getting some great performance out of that hack.

Nice idea and photos, though I do find the transitions in the video from one scene/shot to the next to be a little too quick. I'd rather have it stay on the zoomed out picture for a second or two before transitioning to the next.

Thank you. Agree...

Interesting video, and good idea. Thanks for sharing. If you have photos of the set up that would be great.

Thank you. Will try. That set up may look scary...probably today is the day to scary. Happy Halloween! :-)
