I use bokeh shots to test my lenses at times for that; it is all revealed!

Got new custom helicoid-adapter for all 62.5mm cine lenses. Man who made it has God hands. Free from any backlash, smooth focusing, long working distance, around 5cm, getting close macro. Coated with some liquid plastic, anodized aluminium, black inside.

Congratulations, excellent results!! Great conversion too it seems. You could also add an M42 iris behind if you need that.
Or use a variable ND filter in front with a clamp filter mount to preserve the bokeh.
