Minolta Rokkor X 50mm f1.4 for M Mount?

[filmtwit]

Caught this conversion on the bay today.
claim of 2.5 feet to infinity. Isn't the flange distance rather longer for this lens?
Anyone use it?

I have this lens in its original form on my XE7 and I LOVE it. If the seller really managed to RF couple it accurately to the M mount, this would would be a real nice rig to shoot with. I don't think it would be a good fit for my Barnack, but on a bigger body like a M5, it shouldn't be too awkward. I wonder how much it cost to convert this lens over.
