is there a cheap macro for GFX for reproduction - around 50mm?

I have a pentax645 macro 120/4 which is cheap and good for 35mm + MF. and I have a pentax645 standard 55, but that does not seem very good for reproducing 8/10''-negs, for which the 120mm is too long for my copy-stand. do you know about a cheap manual macro lens about 50mm?

would it be a good idea + produce better results to use this with the 55mm?

There’s the Mamiya 645 80mm f4 macro. It goes to 1:2. There’s a dedicated tube for it that will bring it to 1:1, or possibly higher magnification. It’s a film era lens but does well on digital too. It’s not 50mm though…

could someone calculate the distance needed for this 80mm lens and 8/10''-neg? I am SO bad with maths ...

and what about reversing the 55lens with the tool in the link? would that improve sharpness in corners?
