I think the "Auflagemaß" you were talking about is the distance between the film plane and rear element of the lens.
The flange distance of R mount is 46.9mm ... for Minolta A mount it's 44.5mm, for EOS mount it's 44mm, so an adapter is perfectly doable for both Canon and Sony cameras.
The guy who tried to convert the lenses actually took off the R mount and machined a new mount to fit the A700.
