hehe... On the contrary!

This lens has a peculiar construction which allows removing the rearmost part of
the lens tube, including the K bayonet. Originally, this feature was for
inserting 58mm size filters, but is also an excellent starting point for
building adaptors to other mounts. 

After some fiddling with a calliper last night, I think a P645 mount will have
to add about 25mm extension to the tube for infinity focus.

Since this is a manual aperture lens, there's no automation to lose anyway. A
645 bayonet will enable use of this lens with both 645 and 35mm, with the aid
of a 645-K converter.
