If you wish to use the detachable head Viso lenses, you should be able
to futz around with home made adapters to do the trick.   these include
the 65 elmar, and lens heads for the older 90's, 135's etc.

If you want to use the complete M lenses  and still focus to infinity on
your F90, you will need a good jewelers saw to remove the mirror box and
prism.  The Nikon body is too thick to allow anything but closeups.
