I just got the bill and sent payment to Ken Ruth on the Canon 0.95 conversion he's doing for me so I hope to have it back soon for testing.

Just curious, are you converting the TV version or the rangefinder coupled version of the 50/0.95?
Also, how much will it cost?

The lens I sent was the TV version. Ken has converted it to Leica M-mount and rangefinder coupled it.
Total cost with return insured shipping is $398
Below is Ken's explaination of the work needed to do it.
Checking the data base for converting a fully intact Canon F .95 to
Leica Rangefinder indicated a cost of $ 280 and you will need to supply [or
I will obtain] a screw to M adapter that will become part of the converted
lens.
Modification will be made to the rear cell glass to provide proper contact
for the Leica body rangefinder arm allowing coupling [note your Leica will
be tested to see if body focus is correct as this is highly critical for
this fast lens and for wide angle lenses. If you use a wide angle lenses
your shortest focal length lens is best to include along with the body for
insuring best performance.
