i was wondering if anyone might know about shooting anamorphic super8

I have a moller 2x anamorphic lens that I did a test film with my super 8 camera

I put the camera 5ft away from a model -set the anamorphic lens to 5ft - set the actual camera lens to 5ft - but when I got the film processed it looked out of focus

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was told that with the moller you put the camera lens to infinity and set the correct distance with the anamorphic. This was in reference to the 1.5x bolex-moller anamorphic and I am not sure that your lens works the same?

I've been told that you can use a close up lens in front of the anamorphic -but not sure what type? what amount of magnification?

have any ideas?
