I understand.... and I have used lenses in this way.. it is just that I
PREFER not to. And I think I am not in the minority!
Your tolerance quotient and mine may be very different!
Getting used to and wanting something else may go hand in hand......

It may be awkward, but not that bad. I use my Elmarit-R 2.8/28 with an
adapter on my Oly E-510, and it works ok in aperture-priority mode. If I
want to focus wide open, I then have to manually stop it down, but you can
get used to it.
