Wide angle CCD imaging advice needed

Hi,
I am planning doing some wide-angle imaging with various film camera lenses fitted to Nikon bayonet mounts (24mm- 300mm) and connected to a suitable adapter that will join with a SBIG ST 2000XM.
I have heard that some film camera lenses will not come to a focus, and more so when coupled to a CWF8/9 filter wheel.

1. Is this information correct, and if so do I need another special adapter to bring these lenses into focus?
2. Would I be better off without the filter wheel and just screw the required filters
onto the nosepiece of the CCD camera?

I would appreciate any advice you may be able give me to get the project up and running.

Thanks,

Eris
