Universal donuts - or, what do you do between your lens and matte box?

I'm building up my rig and I'm stumped on how people handle the space between small lenses and their matte box when using a follow focus.

Maybe this is only an issue with m4/3.

I have a GH2, Kamerar FF and Kamerar Matte Box. If I am using a Nikon 50mm lens with the FF, there is a good 2 or 3 inches between the end of the lens and the matte box. I just received the Zacuto universal donut and I can't believe I paid $30 for this thing. It is about 1.5 inches. I just don't see how it is going to be of any use for me, unless I'm using a larger lens like my 45-200mm.

So...does anyone have pics of how they handle the space from lens to MB, especially when using a follow focus?
