I was looking on the Leitax website regarding converting contax mm lenses to Nikon F. I don't see any contact info. Does anyone know who may be doing these conversions?

You buy the Leitax kit and DIY. There are guides online on how to do it.

they actually will do the conversion for you but you're going to have to send your lens to Europe.

I'd just DIY it, frankly.

Thanks guys for responding. I was hoping to find someone here to do the conversion. I'd probably mess it up.

If it serves of help, I've done two conversions without problems and I'm not precisely a very skilled DIYer.
Even the second conversion -a Contax Vario Sonnar 35-70 which is trickier than most Contax primes- wasn't a major hassle. You just have to follow carefully the instructions step by step. Take your time. Slow and calmed, don't try to do it all in five minutes.

I had a local camera repair shop do my CZ 28/2.8 and 35-70/3.5, because I read somewhere that the Zeiss mount screws are often glued in. They did a fine job for about $30. Since then, I've acquired a set of good, precision screwdrivers, and I've done all subsequent jobs by myself.
