I just happen to believe the aperture setting should be on the lens, the shutter on the camera body. That makes sence to me. Just like a gear lever belongs on top of the gear box in a car. Young people never realizes what the aperture setting actually does. It's kinda backwards putting it at the back of the body. Soon manual focusing control will be sitting on the already crowded body as well. I guess it in fact did just that - on some historic and rather successful (!!) Minolta body with blue buttons!?

It's pretty simple, really. I've moved aperture rings on lenses by accident too, until I trained myself not to grab the wrong ring. ;-) Godfrey On Sep 26, 2005, at 8:42 AM, Jens Bladt wrote: > ...
