I think so. You will also have to stop down the lens to use TTL metering
as there is no coupling to the body of aperture info. DoF preview will do
that I guess.
It all seems rather hair-shirt to me, like turning a 5D into a Zenit-E or
early Practica. You'd really have to love the lenses!
There are cheaper adaptors around. Try Google.
Unfortunately I can't easily ask my friend how his 1DS-2 and Leica R
lenses worked as he died last year. Ouija might work I guess...
