35mm on 645 is diag aov of about 23mm on full frame--so quite wide angle.

(Jim from FM excellent calculator.)
You might be right about the adapters. Regist distance for Mamiya 645 is 63.3
min and Sony E 18mm leaving 45 .3 mm. Min extension for the Oly bellows is
36mm, right?
I have to check my tilt-shift-T2-mount Hama bellows.
I know it is late and have to get home but that leaves about 9.3 mm for 2
adapters. OM lens mount ones are tough due to the locking mechanism--Mirex
came up with an ingenious short one for my Mirex
T-S adapter for OM so it can be done, but by whom? Perhaps a short OM to Sony
E will not be too much trouble for the bellows to cam adapter. I hope Ian
hasn't retired at SRB. The 135 Zuiko is a great lens with a HUGE image circle
but macro landscapes need a wide angle I think.
Perhaps I am off the rails again with this wild hair, but have been thinking
about this for awhile. No clue how the Mamiya 35mm behaves at >1:2 mag but
probably not super well, but may be good enough.
