Good Day all,
In fact, I am one of those who is still thinking to convert R-lens
to Nikon-mount using Leitax.
But I have not seen any photo using that on Nikon D300 (I bot one
few mths ago).
I have seen many are using D700 for R-lens (via Leitax) due to it is
Full Frame (R-lens is "full frame")..................the result ?
Fatanstic !
Meantime, I hold on my R-lens (might convert if photo taken by D300
is almost same quality as D700)
on the other hand, I do read one advertisment by SHPhoto on LFI. It
said that is an adapter (not Leitax) for R-lens to Nikon Digital
camera use (anyone aware of this).
please tell us more...
I am not aware but would like to hear further,
Steve
regards,
p/s: David, long time no chat...:) how are you doing ?

4) The last option is to convert your lenses to Nikon mount with
the LEITAX mounts. Several people here(Howard Cummer springs to
mind) have done this with numerous lenses, and they results with
the D300 & up are fantastic. The conversion is reversible, but
you need a mount for each lens you have - so, more expensive than
adapters, but a better fit.
Not all lenses can be mounted - I am selling my 24 Elmarit R for
that reason BTW - for mirror clearance issues; Leitax confirmed
this to me.
So better check before you buy. Leitrax seem to be honest people,
acknowledging they had not converted Angénieux's so far.

Hi Philippe!
From this, do I take it that you've decided on the Lei-tax/Nikon
route for your next camera?
Howard seems very happy with his setup, and the results look stunning!
Cheers!
