I had a chance to play with the V1 for about 30 minutes a month or so ago, and 
thought it was a pretty good camera.  Since it has an electronic viewfinder, 
perhaps using R lenses stopped down on it might not be such a bad thing since 
the viewfinder, if I remember correctly, changed brightness as the lighting 
changed, so it was always bright.  So, stopping the lens down would still allow 
you to see easily.  DOF would increase, so focusing accurately might not be as 
easy, but for the money, it might be worth a try.

I think with all that room, someone might be able to build an auto diaphragm 
mechanism in the adapter for full aperture focusing and metering.
