I would like to have one, especially with a Nikon mount. I´m not very eager about glass adapters, though I haven´t yet tried one.

Do you know, is this a common conversion? Or is this lens especially easy to convert?

Not common, this a rare lens. First one what I seen with Nikon mount.

I tried the Nikon adaptor with glass piece on a takumar 135mm. Quite disappointing. Tried the russian adaptor with no glass piece but you can't focus to infinity.

Hmmm... Jupiter 9 in Nikon mount would be good too I guess.

Yes, Jupiter-9 just a fine lens and easy to modify for Nikon. One of our member used glass adapter with great success. I have also a crap glass adapter from Hong Kong.
