Yes, Hasselblad makes two different pieces that will allow you to turn your
2 1/4 sq. into 6x4.5 or 6x3 cm formats. Comes as a set (41151) that includes
both items, as well as corresponding focusing screen masks. You can also get
the focusing screen masks as a separate item (42146). Pretty cool!

Interesting..... if you were to modify a MF camera for Leica lenses, you
would need to provide the same lens mount to film plane distance as a Leica
camera.  AND stuff in a shutter... maybe a shutter in front of the lens?
That would work.  This is done reasonably often for large format users......

Now, the 135 Hektor, 65 Elmar, and I am told several of the Visoflex lenses
will cover 6x6......and THEIR distance from rear of lens to FP is
greater,..... so more practical......

I think it was Kit that said the Hasselblad has a gadget to make the format
square... I think he meant a gadget to make the FP rectangular.. OTOH, there
may be a gadget to limit/cut the FP to 4x4 for 127 sized negs.......
