Wouldn't be a good idea. It would be a huge lens; the size of the
90/2AA anyway due to the film-flange distance. 90's and 135's are
interchangeable if the rear element is far enough away from the film,
but 50's and shorter don't really work. If a new 50/1.4 M lens were
to be done, it would have to be a whole new design.
