Q/A
Yes, in case if it have built-in shutter and can cover 72 mm diameter image circle (medium format lenses). Off course you need to know it flange distance to possibly adjust it. Current version supports only 2 lenses - Mamiya Sekor TLR 80 mm and Lomo T-22.
For example you can use any Mamiya C220/330 system lenses because they are all have flange distance of 73,5 mm.
Mamiya Press lenses have humongous helicoid, so better to use TLR lenses.

No. I don't make them to order. But you can always contact me for help in assembling your project.
Short answer is - whatever you like to work with. But it should be only black otherwise (if it's white for example) test shows that even if you paint it outside and inside with black paint it's still letting light to go through.
ABS - is my chose. Several infidexes i know are printed from PLA and works perfectly fine. However, it is necessary to keep in mind the temperature limitations of PLA. PETG can be too flexible for some parts, also it can letting light came through on thin walls even with black filament. Polyamides are dark zone to me, can't say for sure, but should work great since there is a lot projects using them.
