My very first day with this combo. No artistic intention. Pure and quick run'n'gun testing.
The diopter lens does help with shallow dof (most shots are f2.8) and close focusing. I yet have to find the way to attach it firmly to the front of the anamorphic adapter. I used some foam but it wasn't very reliable - the lens fell out and landed on the pavement... Fortunately didn't break.
The lens was Sigma 24-70 f2.8 zoom.
Will do more proper and informative test soon, showing talent's face at various f-stops and distances (with careful focusing and exposure).
