I do not know. I was told that the adapter maker must do this independently (at least for the Canon lenses.) Clearly the situation will vary depending on the source of money, and on the presence or absence of legal encouragement.

It works very well with most Cannon EF lenses. I do not know about the financial and legal issues that must be surmounted in order to develop such a smart adapter.
