The aperture ring is puzzling. Does this mean that they are going to make a digital body that supports the old aperture linkage again? I tend to doubt if they did this to support old bodies, which are all film. A DSLR with full backwards support would almost imply a super-D, not a baby-D. Of course they may have also have gotten so much flak for not making the *istD fully compatible with older lenses that they did an about face. We've already seen them try to alleviate that with the firmware fix that gives partial functionality back.I have to say that I consider it great news. Choosing to support full frame, aperture ring and on top of that, picking some primes speaks very positively. These represent to me that they are looking beyond the first time buyer and trying to provide for more serious photogs.
just my $0.02 worth.
