This site talks about Bronicas. But it mentions in passing to use a ball
joint and a lens with a longer register distance. So use a ball joint unit
and a T mount (55mm register distance) lens.

Just a thought. I've yet to do it, but I always look for a 90mm and 28mm T
mount. Do the later version Tamrons (that use the adaptall instead of T
mount) still have a 55mm register distance?
