        I would to that in a heartbeat.  I shoot RAW, and am forced to 
shoot in M on my -DS (due to the repeatedly abused subject of 
missing aperture simulator) with the bulk of my lenses S/K/M.  Most of the 
features are useless... so whatever body gives me the best bang for the 
buck as this "light-proof box to hold digital film" is the one that I'd 
use.

        You do pose an interesting question though.  Maybe that would be 
another interesting survey... who would buy a Samsung body over a Pentax 
body if the only difference was the Samsung had the aperture coupler?  How 
does brand loyalty affect the "fence sitters" vs. those who are willing to 
accept any and all decisions Pentax makes?
