6x7 Reverse Adapter

Hey gang, Ok, I just got in the mail today an Asahi Pentax 6x7 Reverse adapter. This is designed to reverse a 49mm lens on the 6x7. Has anyone with a 6x7 used this adapter without a prism? I've put it together with an old 50/2 (screw mount) and can't see anything on the ground glass.
