Actually I believe that except for the button you press the behavior is
the same. On the *ist-D,Ds,DL the
camera is set to fire the shutter with the lens aperture off A. Manual
exposure is selected. On the D pressing
the green button stops down the lens and sets the shutter speed to the
"correct" exposure. On the Ds/DL pressing
the AE button stops down the lens and sets the shutter speed. On the D
holding the DOF lever in turns on the meter
and allows you to adjust the shutter speed with the rear (aperture),
wheel or the aperture on the lens using continuous
stop down metering. I believe the Ds/DL do the same except since they
have only one wheel there's no function shift.

I take it the three models behave somewhat differently in combinaiton
with manual lenses. Anyone with a link or a short comparison?
