I think Rob it's a just matter of getting used to the thing. I learned to used it effectively in my D70 quite fast. And honestly, I don't think that using aperture ring on long zooms like 70-200/2.8 or lenses with tripod mount could be convenient until you've got three hands ;-) And of course you've got a choice of EV step with in-body aperture control. However I still like very much using aperture ring with short lenses mounted on MZ-S.
