You would require some kind of electronics/motors to move the aperture
lever, but those could would not necessarily have to be placed inside the
adapter's form factor as we know it today. But I agree, it would not be
easy, but I have no doubt it is quite possible. Regarding the camera, I am
not too familiar with the electronics and the contacts in the E bodies, but
I assume there is some kind of "signal" that triggers the DZ aperture
mechanism, that signal should be sufficient to trigger the adapter
mechanism.
But perhaps I am just dreaming, I do that pretty often.
