Hi Mark,
I have been in contact with David Llado at Leitax. The R to N mount is  
not for ROM lenses and the 100 Macro requires a special 10 hole mount  
which David has yet to manufacture. Other R lens mounts are good to go  
at Eu 68 per piece plus Eu 10 for shipping. I am going to convert my  
180mm Apo f3.4 and my 90mm Summicron for use on my D700. The great  
thing about this conversion is it is reversible if and when the R10  
comes out . I expect that the lenses will perform spectacularly with  
the D700 CCD.
Cheers
Howard
