Nikon Lens - AI Conversion
« on: February 22, 2008, 05:02:21 pm »

Does anyone know where I can get older lens converted for use on a D200?  Ideally in the GTA, but this is not critical.

Thanks.

Thanks Rich,

I did find John's site via http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/serialno.html but was wondering if there was anyone else out there still doing this work.

I've already e-mailed him regarding the lenses I'm looking to get converted, have you ever used him yourself?

Cheers.

I have a buddy in Southern California that does this. He has some OEM conversion kits left and will also do custom machining of the existing aperture ring. He's a good tech and his prices are fair.

If interested, let me know and I'll give you his contact info.

I'd be interested in contacting him regarding the availability of the OEM conversion kits, if you can pass me his contact information it would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
