[Leica] Leica R lenses on Nikon bodies with the LeiTax bayonet

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Hi Gene,
It has been done with a Nikon film camera. Please see Andrew Nemeth's  
site.

  I believe Steve Gandy may have the camera if he hasn't sold it.

But, given that the bayonet change is completely reversible on R  
lenses - don't be too hasty. Wait and see what comes down the pike in  
terms of
usage and picture quality.
Speaking of picture quality I have been enjoying the photos of your  
European sojourn very much.
Cheers
Howard
