I modded a vintage Leica Summicron about 10 years ago using some metal a colleague machined to try the effect mentioned in the article. Did it have anamorphic bokeh? Sure. But it never gave me the feel of anamorphic, as the look is all in the desqueeze. Since it sat in between weirdo spherical and anamorphic, I just never found much use for it.
