If you want a factory conversion there is only one factory service depot 
left for screw mounts and that's Kindermann Canada, not even Solms works on 
screw mounts anymore. If Kindermann still have the parts NOS, it will most 
certainly cost a small fortune. The best way would be to have a donor camera 
for the parts and I am sure Kindermann (and others) will have used parts as 
well. Frankly, given the low prices for screw mount cameras, this begs the 
question why not simply buy a IIIf?
