bolex aspheron 6.5mm adaptor at DVinfo.net

I ordered this adaptor from a very gracious dealer in NY to see if it would work with a Sony EX1. I can't pull a focus. On the other side, the image is in perfect perspective with no barrel distortion. Do I need to get the adaptor element closer to the main lens? I really would love for this to work.

Warning- Customer defect. Once I put the camera lens in macro and dialed all the way to its closest focus, bingo! With this lens adaptor you have a 35mm 16 wide angle. For close quarters this will be neat. The image looks super sharp with no barrel distortion. Now how to mount this bad boy. There has to be a better way than has been demonstrated on this site.
The Bolex distributor out of NY was great!

Cool.

I love macro work! It's a lot of fun.

I would love to see some sample footage if you could share some. Please?
