This is what you receive from Leitax, a precision machined ring and bayonet and the necessary screws. |
|
The Zeiss Milvus ZF lenses have a mechanism to declick the aperture ring, you can operate it with this screw . |
|
Remove the screw on the top of the lens, where the indexes are. |
|
We have to know the length of the original screws to use the correct ones on the Leitax mount. |
|
Also you can measure it with a ruler. Just tell me the length of this top screw and I will provide the correct ones together with the Leitax mount. |
|
To start with the conversion we have to remove all four screws, you can see one is different. |
|
And lift the original mount. |
|
We have to remove the sealing rubber ring, not compatible with the Leitax mount. It would not work on a Canon camera anyway. |
|
And save it in the lens box, to be able to rebuild the lens to its original condition at any time. |
|
Now we put the original mount again in its place and secure it with that different screw. Don't tighten it too much, use only two fingers on the screwdriver. |
|
Now we are going to put the Leitax ring, note it has a hole that coincides witht the declicking screw. |
|
Made it coincide with that screw and the rest of holes will coincide as well. | |
And we can secure the Leitax ring with the three provided screws. | |
Now the Leitax mount, also it has a new hole to have access to the decliking mechanism. | |
It is very useful to have the Phillips screwdriver magnetized with these small screws. | |
We secure the Leitax mount with six small screws. | |
Ready, look at the still accesible declicking mechanism screw. | |
You can declick this lens using our flat screwdriver. | |
And the Zeiss Milvus lens for Nikon cameras is now working fine on a Canon camera. | |
