The lens actually has a flange distance of 43mm. I think you are referring to the flange distance of standard LSM (M39). But this is no standard LSM lens, only the M39 thread is similar.
So.. with a thin enough adapter, you could actually get very close to 1:4 on EF mount. One has to make sure that the mirror clears the back of the lens though, so 1:4 on a full frame camera may be a problem. But APS-C should be fine.

I mean that the FFD of a Nikon Fx and DX is the same 46,5mm. And EOS always has 44,0. And 1:4 is always 1:4, FX or DX. I think you will get 1:3,3 or so but not 1:4. I am looking forward to your results.
