I just ordered a Hassy to Canon adapter. From my still days, I still have a 80mm, 60mm and a 40mm Ziezz lens ( the widest detactalbe lens made for the Hassy). Actually, they made a 30mm fisheye, but is rare.
Now, a wider lens could have been made, but the need for at least f4 would have made an extremely large lens, because of larger glass needed for light gathering.
If you only needed a f8 or f11, you would have a smaller lens, like my 4X5 lens, which have large coverage for 4X5 film, but start at f8. The 4X5 lens are really quite small.
