There is no aperture control, all it can do is read ROM data of focal length 
- seems a lot of money (even by Leica standards) for what it is!

Apparently it is starting to ship..
 

BUT..
 

"The Leica R-Adapter L cannot read the selected aperture set on the lens.
Instead, the camera uses the same technology to estimate the aperture as 
with M-lenses mounted via an adapter."
 

There is still no info that I can find that says the lens aperture is open 
during focusing, then closed down during image creation... And the inability 
to read the lens' aperture setting is disturbing...For $750, you would 
expect more...
