It doesn't bug me too much. Again, I jumped right from an MX to the *ist DS, so I never got comfortable with too much convenience. I take a lot of pictures in difficult or outright shitty lighting, and I'm far less bothered by the workflow than you seem to think. Would I have preferred open-aperture metering all the time? Yeah, I guess. But it's not been a dealbreaker, especially considering how the backwards compatibility makes it easy to collect decent lenses for modest prices. -Luigi
