Due to an ebay transaction gone wrong, I'm now the not so proud owner of a genuine Hexar AF paperweight. After a call to Weber Camera I'm led to believe that the circuit board is bad and there are no replacements to be had.

I've seen that some people have had MS Optical (Miyazaki) convert their lenses to M mount and the Hexar AF 35/2 lens is on the list of supported lenses. Has anyone actually gone ahead and paid for the conversion of this? If so, please add your comments on image quality, handling, focusing issues, etc. Feedback on other converted lenses seems to be generally favorable.

I'm exploring this option only because the price for a conversion isn't horribly bad (~$550 USD). Combine that with the lower price I paid for the hexar and I could have a unique pre-asph Cron clone for well under a grand.
