The old EPO pro service that made Nikon the preeminent photojournalist's camera has been gone for decades also, as least since Nikon took over the US marketing. Once someone learns something they think that never changes (especially with those who do not actually use the knowledge), but it does, it does.

Unfortunately, Nikon dropped the aperture simulator on its all non-pro bodies, including the cheaper DSLRs (D100,D70). So you can mount a lens on D100 or D70 with an aperture ring, but you won't get any metering. For that, you would have to buy the expensive pro DSLRs (D1 D2). Or hack the lens adding the chip with contacts, then it works. There is not even a "green button" solution, so there Pentax is better.
Hmm interesting. Unfortunately this is impossible with pre-A pentax lenses due to the non-linear motion of the aperture lever.
I assume, then, that Nikon lenses have always operated the same way as far as this goes (be it linear or non-linear?
