645 lenses can be mounted on K-mount.

But, why would you want to unless you owned 645 lenses and wanted to save
money? The K-mount lenses, with their smaller image circle requirement,
should be sharper.

Now, it's technically possible make a converter to mount 35mm lenses on a
645 and the 24x36 array can be placed inside the opening forward of the film
plane. The mirror may or may not have to be locked up depending on the
dimensions inside the 645.

But why???
