Alin Flaider mused:
[. . . .] With regard to aperture-set-from-the-lens implementation: in manual mode one can only check out the difference from metered exposure by pressing the DOF lever; there is no provision for automatic setting of the speed value like the *ist d does. Too bad, it renders old lenses almost useless.
Are you sure? The first reports on the *ist-Ds that were posted here said that this ability was available (though by pushing the AE-L button, since there is no "green button")
I read the same from someone who tried this on a pre-production model.
It's only a few days away anyway.
