I had made inquiry and was told it cannot be done. I have had another email 
from one of our LUG colleagues and was told it can be done. I'm going to 
follow up next week and get the deciding vote from Leica.

Question: does your converted macro-adapter-R function on both the SL and R 
cameras? I know the extender on an SL will meter accurately only in 
stopped-down mode. 

Doug, many thanks for taking the time to write.
