has anyone had this done before or can offer some advise about going about this.?

I didn't even know it was possible.

Mind you, now that I know it is, I'm not sure it'd bring all that much of a value to your shots... however... I did find these:

Use a small screwdriver? Jack Merry ph 02 9416 1985 or 0402 404 847 advertises non ai to ai conversions for $49.95, don't know about ai to p though. You can always use it as a ai lens manually to you find a p converter if he doesn't do it, or send it to the states. Lots of postage, check the economics with that option. What lens is it?

yeah, i was thinking of keeping it just ai for the moment. but there is a dealer here in melbourne that does cpu chips for about 175$.
i bought that old 50-300 f/f4.5 it was cheap something to try out. never had a non-ai lenses before.

does Jack Merry have a website or email address? not sure if i want to send it to syd.

No



Correction, he doesn't advertise one, ring him and ask him if he does

so how did you come about his details if you don't mind me asking

They came from a small ad in Photo Trader. Havent used him, don't know anything about him.

Was thinking on getting my 400mm 5.6 converterd to P, at $175 I think I will give it a miss.

just a word of warning with those conversions. you may not be able to fully open the aperture with your d70, unless you use a f5 or something with an aperture ring override. as the metering coupling doesn't fully open.
