This might not be so much of a problem. The adapter could just keep the aperture mechanism closed, so you dont need to use the DOF preview button.

Still not terribly convenient though.

Does anyone know how digital cameras set shutter speed? This would be
a perfect opportunity for a tiny bit of hacked-in electromechanical
linkage and OTF measurement.
