Great idea, however the contrast front-rear is very strong. Perhaps better to use a longer shutter speed and rear curtain flash?

Many thanks Birna - agreed I'll try another one with more balanced lighting.

A fairly easy lens to service.  Surprisingly sharp wide open in the near range and running my 28mm f/2.8 AIS very close!



Slightly different construction to the AI-S variant which Ric has covered here:
