Extreme bummer. The ROM contacts occupy the space formerly reserved for one of the Leicaflex metering cams. I would not be at all surprised if Leica puts R-only lens mounts on the ROM lenses to prevent using the lens on a Leicaflex so that the camera's cam follower can't damage the contacts. The good news is that many current lenses can be un-ROMmed and Leicaflex metering cams added.
