Short answer - Nope!
Longer answer -
35mm lenses (in general) cannot be used on medium format cameras for two reasons:
1. Their mounts are different, and
2. The image circle produced by 35mm lenses is not large enough to cover the image size of medium format film.
As a rule of thumb, one can use larger format lenses on smaller format cameras, but not visa versa.
