I asked this a while back......

No one appears to be doing this, at least not now.

These guys:   http://www.sigmacumlaude.com/

Make a body mount change for the Sigma camera....it fits R lenses without
modification.....

Now if you wanted someone to make one for you, it would be pretty easy.... 

But them none of your Nikon lenses would fit!

The very obvious choice is to have 2 bodies.. one a standard D700
The other is a 




DIGI-R..... R10






And you thought I was going to say a modified D700 body.........

Hey, is it possible to rip the Nikon mount out of the D700 and install a
Leica R mount?

e.g. does Leitax do that?

I would prefer that I can use my R lenses on the R-Leica, as well as D700.

I suppose I could use the R lens on my Nikon F2.
