C'est possible.
Mr. Lottermoser used a 35/4 Eurygon as was sold for the Polaroid MP-4 and MP-3. I've had one, didn't like it. A good 35/4.5 Tominon would be better. In my experience, not all are equally good, so one must get several and choose the best. So would, say, a 40/4.5 Luminar or a 25/3.5 Luminar or (I'm not joking) a reversed 25/1.9 Cine Ektar II. On 20x25, all of these would work at 10:1 and higher.
Tominons and CE IIs are inexpensive, Luminars are not. The Eurygon and Tominon will screw into the front of a #1 shutter. Luminars are in RMS thread, require adapters to screw into shutter. I have a Linhof RMS-to- #0 adapter, these are hard to find and expensive. SKGrimes (www.skgrimes.com) will charge around $US to and RMS to shutter adapter. The CE II has front filter threads, again an adapter would be required. Again, SKGrimes or the machinist you prefer could do it.
Working at high magnification is excruciatingly painful. Yesterday I shot a tiny orchid at 20:1 and 5:1. The results will be terrible, and setting up was difficult. At lower magnifications, 1:2 to 2:1 or so, any good 100mm - 200 mm enlarging lens or process lens will do fairly well. 150/9 G-Claron, for example.
