I'm fairly sure the conversion is missing the most important point of the difference between A lenses, and earlier lenses; which is that the stop-down coupler acts linearly rather than non-linearly! The electrical contact is merely a way for the lens to tell the camera that a linear-stop-down type lens is attached. The conversion is thus just lying to the camera - as far as I know anyway.
