If you want to use the F6.8 Telyts, get the Visoflex versions... there is a
Visoflex ( front) mount to Nikon F adapter.  No Visoflex required.

Unfortunately a reversible conversion isn't possible with the f/6.8 Telyts.
The conversion involves removing the first and second cams and on the f/6.8
Telyts the fixed SL nul cam apparently would need to be ground away in
order to fit the replacement flange on the lens, since the Nikon mount is a
smaller diameter than the R mount.
