David Llado (www.leitax.com) offered me a sample of his new conversion kit for 
the f/6.8 Telyts (which I believe also works on the Televit-R) so, wanting to 
know what all of my options are I took delivery of the kit last week and 
installed it on one of the mount tubes for the f/6.8 telyts.

The kit for these lenses consists of the replacement flange, nothing else.  The 
flange is very well made and impeccably finished, fully worth of a Leica lens.  
The fit was a bit tight which made it tricky to get the six screw holes lined 
up properly, but once they alignment was correct there was no trouble attaching 
the flange.  What else can I say?  it works perfectly:

so now both the 400mm and 560mm f/6.8 Telyts can be used on Nikon and Sony 
bodies.
