Your CFW is about 22mm thick and the sensor on the ML8300 is 22.2mm down from the face. So you need lenses with say 45mm backfocus when looking at those tables.

That would be most lenses. Canon FD lenses would need the EF mount adapter (available on Ebay) and then they should work, Nikon lenses, M42 mount basically lots of choice. It may come down to which adapter for the FLI is readily available. They have one for Nikon ($175- ouch) and probably for Canon as well. Precise Parts could make one too.

Of course anything Zeiss would be awesome and would be awesome for daytime imaging.

Greg.
