(Perhaps it's really the mechanicalyy aperture simulator/aperture info transfere that sucks. Not the ring on the lens. An aperturering should be able to work througt electronical settings - without the mechanical apertiure simulator). The "D" does accomodate K and M lenses. I wnat the next body to do so too! Its even kind of AE - or close to - I only have to press one button! No manual adjustments are required. That works for me, althoug I somtimes miss the aperture ring to ensue the lens stays at one particular setting - no matter what else changes! For flash photography: I want the aperture to STAY where I set it. The shutter speed should perhaps change within limitations (30-150) according to the ambient light. The flash/TTL-automatics should take care of sufficient light (eksposure). This is where I need the aperture ring! Or at lest a secure setting. I do use manual mode for this a lot: But here I have two problems 1) The shutterspeed does not change according to the ambient light 2) There's no flash compensation available.

However, the Canon EOS lenses does not have an aperture ring, and neither does many nikon lenses. I don't know exactly why C and N have eliminated them, but it could be a sign in time for the future of the K-mount. Personally, I don't miss the aperture ring much. Jostein
