Canon and Minolta have abandoned it completely. Nikon partly (and to a greater extent than Pentax, I think). As they say, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind's blowing. Personally, I'm one of those freaks who prefers aperture control on the camera body :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
