Thanks, i thinking about it too. But for this case i need to use some MF or LF lens i.e. Schneider 80mm f/5.6 Apo Digitar M.

For now i don't have such a kind of lens. For now i have only modern lenses with electronic aperture and with moving lens assembly where i need to have lens on body.

You can use old lenses from an enlarger like these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xenlarger+lens.TRS0&_nkw=enlarger+lens&_sacat=0

Lenses like the Schneider you mention are not very suitable as they are much less sharp per square mm than normal FF lenses, you need a really big 'sensor' (film) to use them successfully.

You'll need a bellows too: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Lens-Adapters-Mounts-Tubes/30059/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=bellows+camera or you can make something yourself.
