Aaron,
For those of us like myself who are truly lazy, could one make a pinhole 
camera by taping over the lens opening on a Leica, and punching the pinhole 
in the tape?  The focal length would be less than an inch, so it should 
produce a wide angle image.  Not to damage the finish, the tape could be 
trimmed neatly to fit the flange.  That would be the easiest of all worlds 
for handling the film transport problem.
