Convert 2 cam lens to 3 cam

[jmooney]

Hi All,

 

I bought a lens before doing all my homework on the R system and I know now it's a 2 cam lens and my plan for my

R system is to shoot with an R8 so I was wondering if it is possible to convert it to a 3 cam lens and what's a

ballpark cost for the conversion? It's a 35 Elmarit-R so it's not an earth shatteringly expensive lens but if

it's affordable to convert it I'd rather do that than shell out for another lens and have to deal with selling

this one.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jim

DAG camera repair. My charge a few years back was 75/100 dollars. Price may be higher now. Maybe parts are not available.

 

Google Don`s address and phone.

Thanks Ronald. I've emailed him. Does the lens behave like a fully functional 3 cam, meaning are there any caveat to having a lens converted?

Will work just like a factory 3 cam

Current price for converting a 2 cam to 3 cam lens at DAG is $100 plus $20 shipping. I just had one done.

Leica NJ quoted me $175 a few years back. Never sent it in. Instead bought a Leicaflex SL to use the lens.
