True. But one does need a memory card (and you note they did compact that area on this body...)
Subtract a power source (battery volume) and LCD space... Perhaps the lens
mechanical linkage would have cut across space already allocated for something
else. All of which might mean it wasn't a part of the original intent, wouldn't
it...
On all the old designs the aperture feedback resistor network (which could be very simply redesigned to provide gray code output) was situated just behind the mount, well clear of the body proper and was easily accommodated on all the late AF bodies. The linkage was virtually direct and looking at its operation I assume that it would be less likely to be prone to ware and generation of debris than the existing aperture actuation lever.
