Subject: [Leica] Adaptall Lenses, R4 and R8

I am curious about the use of the Adaptall lenses on Leica R cameras.
If one had an Adaptall lens with the Leica R adapter, what effective cam
lens is this combo?  2 cam ?  3 Cam?

The adapter that was made fits the R4 camera.  What happens if the lens is
used on a R8?  Can you meter at full aperture?  I assume auto diaphragm and
focus are fine.  Is there some feature of the lens lost?
