Of course I want an aperture simulator. Trying to find a "normal" lens
like the M 35mm f2.0 that complements the *ist-D/Ds in size, has a great
manual focus feel, and is relatively fast would justify a $100.00 extra
on any body they put aperture simulator on. Being able to use either
the diaphragm ring or the aperture wheel on the *ist-D/K10D, or any
other body with a similar control layout, depending on circumstances,
just like the PZ-1p, on lenses that support aperture rings, would be
well worth it. On the cameras like the Ds which doesn't have a second
wheel would make even A lenses more desirable, but I don't think this
will get past Pentax marketing. They want to sell lenses. Even if
those lenses aren't available.
