Unfortunately a reversible conversion isn't possible with the f/6.8 Telyts. The conversion involves removing the first and second cams and on the f/6.8 Telyts the fixed SL nul cam apparently would need to be ground away in order to fit the replacement flange on the lens, since the Nikon mount is a smaller diameter than the R mount.
