On R bodies It works as originally designed and it works with stop-down
metering on the SL and SL2.
 
I wouldn't count on Leica being the final word for whether the converson can
be done.  An experienced independant repair dude may have tried things Leica
hasn't recommended and found it worked.  For example, Leica cautions against
stacking converters but Ted and others do it anyway.
