Mamiya 7 adapters?

[cosmonaut]

Is it possible to mount a 65mm Mamiya 7 lens on a m4/3rd or Sony NEX? If so which adapter?

Mamiya 7 lenses all have leaf shutters. The adapter would have to be electronic as to open the leaf shutter...so no, there are no adapters around for them.

Thanks. Bummer.

But couldn't you just design an adapter with a manual T (bulb/timer) switch to pre-open the shutter before shooting and keep it open till you release the lens from the body or something? That way the camera's shutter would still function as normal?

SOUNDS easy to me...
