Skyllaney Lens Conversion Service
Unfortunately Miyazaki San has now ceased his lens conversion service. But all is not lost, JCH has teamed up with Skyllaney Opto-Mechanics to produce high quality lens conversions for specific lenses. New lenses are being added to the range all the time, so if you are not sure please get in contact and we can advise.
Lens Conversions
Currently available conversions include:
Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f/1.5 Sonnar to Leica M-Mount
Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f/2 Sonnar to Leica M-Mount
Carl Zeiss Jena 3.5cm f/2.8 Biogon to Leica M-Mount
Carl Zeiss Jena 8.5cm f/2 Sonnar to Leica M-Mount
Carl Zeiss CY 50mm f/1.4 Planar to Leica M-Mount
Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 Ai-s to Leica M-Mount
It doesn’t matter the version of the Zeiss Jena lenses, as pre and post war lenses can be converted.
Calibration
We also offer lens calibration services for certain lenses:
Calibrated for Leica RF usage:
These lenses would be supplied by the customer
Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 M39
Jupiter-3 50mm f/1.5 M39
Jupiter-12 35mm f/2.8 M39
Orion-15 28mm f/6 M39
Jupiter-9 85mm f/2 M39 (2m to Infinity capable only)
Finger tabs can be created and installed on most of the above lenses.
Custom made lenses
We also can make these up for customers from scratch (we provide the lenses).
All are Leica RF calibrated and coupled, optics in general would be very good to mint and are dependent on availability of used stock we have access to.

Unpainted lenses are polished down to mirror like finishes. We only sell lenses that have optics in excellent or better condition. The mechanical parts are ultrasonically cleaned, fresh synthetic lubricants applied to necessary areas.
All work comes with a 12 month warranty, laminated test certificate, front and rear lens caps, and appropriate LTM to M adapters. The quality of these lenses is outstanding.
All lenses can be custom painted by camerakote also. These orders are upon request and the price depends on the lens and the painting involved.
Chrome plating, nickel plating, coloured anodising can be done as well. Prices vary depending on how many parts are involved.
We are happy to work with clients on special projects.
