The camera doesn't know it has a converter. The converter tells the camera
the right information. You just treat it like any other lens. The reason
you don't see the aperture in the viewfinder is two-fold. I suspect the
aperture isn't showing up in the viewfinder because it's not a ROM
converter. Is it? As for the flash, it the lens a ROM lens? You might want
to call up Leica if it is and see if the contacts need adjustment or something.
