That sounds like another, even simpler place to mate the "R front" to a "D700
back," fool the latter into "thinking" the that the R lens is a manual N lens.
Not having any aquaintance at all with Nikon equipment I have no idea what may
be involved, but perhaps Leitax does know what is involved
If the D700 had to be machined to make way for the adaptive R lens mechanism, I
could contemplate a new retro-adapter that could be mounted on the D700 to
restore it to all-Nikon functionality if desired.
Thanks,
Bill
