Since it has an electronic viewfinder, perhaps using R lenses stopped down on it might not be such a bad thing since the viewfinder, if I remember correctly, changed brightness as the lighting changed, so it was always bright. So, stopping the lens down would still allow you to see easily. DOF would increase, so focusing accurately might not be as easy, but for the money, it might be worth a try. I think with all that room, someone might be able to build an auto diaphragm mechanism in the adapter for full aperture focusing and metering. Aram Aram Langhans Semi-Retired (retarded?)
