Howard,

C/Y > N would also be an attractive option for me. Sadly, the C/Y mount
seems all but dead. But some of the older CZ lenses are very good. I
have several (all MM except for a superb 60/2.8 Makro Planar AE). I
hoped that someday there'd be a way to use them on a FF DSLR, preferably
Nikon. 

OTOH since all my current Nikon digital is DX going to FX would be like
going to a new system. I could just as well go with a Canon or Pentax
DSLR body. I've been weighing my options, hoping the right body/adapter
combination becomes available.

...

Now if they get to a R > N option that would be a very attractive  
option!!

Here's a site in Taiwan that already does that conversion.  
Unfortunately only in Chinese!

But the pictures are understandable.
