So the Leitax site has a short list of compatible and incompatible Contax MM lenses for use on Nikon cameras, but there are a few key lenses missing*– does anybody know if the 35mm f/1.4, 45mm f/2.8, and 85mm f/1.4 are compatible with a full-frame Nikon (D700 or F4), with or without modification to the rear element shroud?

Here's the page – http://leitax.com/Zeiss-Contax-lens-for-Nikon-cameras.html
 
The 35/1.4 and 85/1.4 aren't compatible with the Leitax mount for F mount, Leitax does offer an M42 conversion for those lenses but that's of little use to a Nikon shooter.

The 45/2.8 has a non-standard mount as well and the rear shroud will hit the mirror. It's also essentially identical to the Nikkor 45/2.8's (which are also Tessar's and render near-identically).
