It is my understanding you cannot use that lens on that camera without
shaving off a good portion of the mirror.

I wonder if some of the material around the rear element can be shaved off.
I have a set of Super Baltar lenses for my Mitchell camera and they were 
modified in
this way to clear the spinning mirror.
