Hi Howard,


I understand that it is reversible, however, I don't want to spend a day 
reversing the lens mounts on the lenses so I can go out shooting my R8/DMR. 
?A dedicated Nikon D2/D300/D700 or so with the R body mount is far more 
appealing to me. ?This way I can switch back and forth very easily.


Cheers,
