I am considering sending a Leica R 80-200 f/4 ROM to Leitax for conversion to a Nikon F mount. Reason for sending to Leitax vs buying adapter and doing conversion myself is that ROM cable has to be cut if I do it myself, while it is not cut and conversion is completely reversible if done by Leitax. While I like the idea of completely reversible if done by Leitax, the cost of shipping from USA to Europe and back seems to overwhelm any economic benifit of complete reversibility of conversion. My check of rates for shipping to/from Europe is about $280-$300 each way :bugeyes: ( via UPS including insurance). For those of you in USA who have sent lenses to Leitax (or Solms), is this shipping cost correct. If too high, how have you shipped and what should cost be? Thanks in advance for any help.
