Don't know if this news has already made the rounds yet, but Rayqual is offering a new adapter for Nikon S and Contax C to LEICA Screw Mount. Seems like this is the first time this has been done...

I guess Amedeo already makes one...

That would be cool on my Canon P. And save wear and tear on my Contax IIa. Do they have an English page?

I didn't see much stuff in English. I think it said somewhere on there that they are only taking orders direct too...

Well also there was the British Cooke and Perkins one in the 50s (a King's ransom) and the Orion Adapter (a Mikado's ransom)... Amadeo appears to be a guy in Venezuela who will make these for you.

I noticed that Kipon was selling one on ebay as well...looked a lot like the Rayqual pictured

So it sells for 48,300 yen. And I thought Amadeo's was expensive!

It's a fairly complicated adapter and no doubt needs precision. Not cheap, but I'd prefer to pay this and get an adapter that works properly (not to say that price is an indicator of quality).

The Kipon looks nice but they don't differentiate between the Nikon S mount and Contax C mount! So, which is it? Because the other type will mount but not focus correctly at closer distances!!
The adapter engraved CC-L39 is for Contax and the adapter engraved NS-L39 is for Nikon.
