I don't find it too much of a problem. If you have the whole rig on a
tripod, you effectively have one hand free. Right hand holding the
boddy and working the shutter release, left hand can work the aperture
ring. Or am I missing something?
If you have a long lens with tripod mount it is usually more difficult
to reach aperture ring comforatably because mounted on tripod mount
comes in the way. Of course if a lens doesn't have tripod mount then
there is no problem using aperture ring :-) But using long lenses when
you hold and operate camera with your right hand and support long &
heavy lens with left hand - especially if it is something like
80-200/2.8 zoom, when you have to operate zoom and often focus with
left hand - then it is undoubtely much easier to operate aperture from
body.
