It is possible, but really a bit of a pain to use these lenses on your R
camera.  The iris will be open wide or you will need to stop down manually,
and the things weigh a ton, especially the 120.

Another issue is the flare introuced by the Zeiss lens image circle.  The
cone of light from the Zeiss lenses will be for a 6x6 neg.  The "extra"
light thrown around inside your R body will or may cause image degradation
from reflections off the interior of the R body.

Yes, it will work, but is it really worth the time and aggravation?
