No suggestions but a comment: If you use a lens shorter than 80 mm in 
the 6x6 format, you'll have no end of trouble finding something with
which to view a transparency.  Either the coverage will be inadequate 
or the aberrations will be insufferable or the price will be out of 
anyone's range because you'll need custom designed and built optics.  
So if you're going to use one o' them distagons, I'd recommend large 
prints viewed up close through a Wheatstone viewer.  (Unless your 
intent is to use distortion, an artistic option.)
