Zooms cease being zooms on any type of extension

So buy a zoom lens & a bellows. Your field may not be super flat, but you can work around that.

It also won't be a zoom any more. As soon as you extend a zoom lens, it ceases to be parfocal. Turn the zoom collar and instantly lose focus, often by a huge amount.

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").
