Hi Austin,
Of course the Canon bodies can not control the aperture of a Leica lens.
One uses a lever and the Canon uses micromotors.  You are correct that there
is no coupling.

However, in actual practice, the aperture on the Leitz lens stops down as
you move the aperture ring and in the "A" mode the Canon body will set the
appropriate shutter speed.
Screen brightness is as good as an SL(focus confirmation much worse however)
so even somewhere around F8 most people can still focus.

Sorry to have been unclear.
