Don,

Good to hear from you - hope life is treating you well.

That thought did strike me when I was looking at the lens - but it is a 
heavy chunk of glass and I have plenty of other options for 120 film so 
would not probably go the effort of mounting the thing to shoot roll film. 
Good idea though.

Cheers,
