Weapon 8K / 35mm FF Speed Booster

[Zeb B]

What are the options out there to use, let's say, a Nikon mount Otus lens on a Weapon 8K body? Or a Canon lens. Got a bit of a collection of both that would be cool to use on the Weapon while picking up some extra T stop photons.
Looked at the Metabones site and nothing jumped out. Looks to be a flange issue - not image circle

There are issues both optical and mechanical. The Helium sensor is wider than standard so some lenses may vignette with a speed booster glass designed for APSC/S35 format.
Also the glass protrudes past the front mounting surface of the RED body and that necessitates replacing the OLFP assembly with a custom one. both of these issues have been overcome by David and Celere at significant expense...

Thanks! Nikon mount would be cool. Wonder is you can frakenmount a Metabones E to F onto this or is that getting weird
