The newer Nikons with the 1,005 pixel Colour Matrix Meter II all have a
fairly simple way to pick Focal Length and Max aperture with the D-pad
on the back. Even remembers the max aperture last used for each focal
length, so you can quickly pick a commonly used lens most of the time.
It uses this to enable matrix metering with non-CPU lenses.
Damn, Pentax can't even manage to put a lever in the mount to read classic
aperture settings.

Well, even the cheapest of these bodies is twice the price of a DS2.
Nikon's equivalents to the current Pentax DSLR's (D70s and D50) don't
meter at all with non-CPU lenses (And there's only 3 or so CPU equipped
MF lenses from Nikon, so Nikon essentially has no equivalent to A lenses)
