But with an EVF, you don’t really need to worry, as the viewfinder will
compensate for the brightness loss as you stop down, at least up to a point.
And you will have the added advantage of seeing the actual DOF you will be
shooting at.

There is a picture somewhere of the lens mount of the new camera. It shows
complete electronic connection to the lens. No mechanical linkage.
This does not preclude that the to-be-announced R to SL adapter would have
automatic full to working aperture control via electrical to mechanical
interface built into the adapter. But a bit unlikely….
For those that have never looked, the aperture connection on a R lens is a push
in/out connection. Not like the Nikon where it is a left to right movement.
Note that the lens has the aperture set, then the mechanical linkage opens the
lens up to full aperture normally, then allows the lens to close down before
the shutter fires. The camera would be unlikely to have the aperture setting
capability internal to the body….a more recent innovation….
