This is what you receive from Leitax, a precision machined ring and bayonet and the necessary screws. | |
The Nikon lenses have at least three equidistant screws, those are the ones we are going to use. |
|
Take the one in front the lens scale center as a reference, the other two form a equilateral triangle with it. |
|
We have to remove those three screws from the Nikon lens. Just remove the three screws and leave the Nikon mount on. |
|
Now place the ring on top of the Nikon mount.... |
|
...and screw it using the three longer provided screws. |
|
Now place the Leitax bayonet on top of the ring. |
|
The position is easily determined for the bayonet slot, it has to be at the same place as the one in the original Nikon bayonet. |
|
And attach the Leitax bayonet to the ring with the provided six small screws. | |
The Zero-Play design Leitax mount comes with this o-ring. | |
This is how I put the O-ring on the Leitax mount. | |
With the plastic tool , it is easy to bring the O-ring to its place. | |
Ready, now this lens will have no play on the camera. | |
When you want to remove the Leitax mount, first you'd have to remove the O-ring, I use a small flat screwdriver to catch it. | |
Now the Nikon, Voigtlander and Zeiss ZF/ZF2 lenses will be as solid as a Canon lens on a Canon camera. | |
