It is so trivial, that the Chinese copy cats have probably already done it..... ( somewhat tongue in cheek.)... Checking after I wrote that, I found that Novoflex has the adapter ( dumb, no auto feature), called the LET/LER. So you can use your R lenses on your SL body, as soon as they ship them..... That is the primary reason I think that it will the Auto feaqture..... that it is taking a year to come out..... I have no real info, nor am I on the inside track at Leica..... I am purely speculating... But if it did have the Auto feature, it would be the single most brilliant implementation Leica has had since the LTM to M adapters..... about 1953.

Of course he could be wrong, or they might reconsider....
