Subject: R-lense conversion

Hi,

I have a R3 and Macro-Elmarit 60mm F2.8. My lense(I guess this is an older
version for Leicaflex cameras) does not have a control device to activate
the R3's full aperture metering system(or come-back spring or whatever it
is called, it is a small tab supposed to be furnished on the back of the
lense according to the instruction manual of R3) and thus I have to press
the depth-review lever to have the camera measure the actual light and
indicate the correct shutter speed. I also keep the lever pressed when I
fire if I choose "Automatic" mode.
I would like to konw;

If the way I use my camera heart anything?

If the conversion to the current control device is available?( I asked one
of the Japanese Leica dealers but they said such conversion was no longer
available even in Germany)

I hope someone could help.

Thanks in advance.
