If you are pulling the camera to pieces anyway, it should be fairly easy to measure the flange distance yourself.

+1

+1 again.  There is NO FLANGE. The lens is an integral part of the body, so where the flange ends up is a function of how you slice it....

Measuring from the film plane to the rim that holds the rear element is quite easy. Set the lens to infinity and use a piece of glass or metal on the frame window near center and subtract its thickness of the measurement you get. It's not a flange film distance as there is no "flange" in that sense in a compact 135 camera. Conversion design should allow some tweaking for infinity calibration.

I suspect it's too short for tilt/shift on MFT, but maybe not?
