Dear Sirs!

I want to replace mount C/Y to Nikon F. If I unscrewed the silver screws (1 in picture), will remove base of the mount? (is black with a red dot (2 in picture).
Or screws holding something else?

Sorry for my bad English,

Check www.leitax.com. There are conversions for C/Y 28-85/3.3-4, 35-70/3.4, 28-70/3.3-4.5,80-200/4... But doesn't have 40-80/3.5. Hope it helps.

I did convert several C/Y primes, but no experience on C/Y zoom. Sad
I know MMJ and MMG can be converted to Nikon F mount by replacing the Nikon F flange with a "leitax C/Y to Nikon" flange (some one is selling this flange on eBay, much cheaper). But AEG can't. Correct me if I were wrong.

To post photos from your Fotki, click on image go to <embed> and unclick box then copy link and paste. Your first pics will not show.



Good luck converting your lens. Leitax is expensive but good quality.
