DS:
In Manual exposure mode on the, the thumbwheel wheel controls both
aperture and shutter speed. Turned by itself, set shutter speeds from
30 seconds to 1/4000 second. Press the "+/- Av" button and the
thumbwheel sets the aperture.
And...
In Av mode, the thumbwheel controls the aperture. Press the "+/- Av"
button and the thumbwheel controls the EV compensation. In Tv mode,
the thumbwheel controls the shutter speed, and EV compensation is
controlled same as in Av mode.
In either of Av or Tv exposure modes, if you frame what you want to
meter on and press the AE-Lock button, rolling the thumbwheel changes
the aperture or shutter speed respectively, and it holds the same
metered EV value by shifting the shutter speed or aperture to suit as
well.
In Manual mode, frame what you want to meter on and press AE-Lock:
the camera will set a shutter speed to match the current aperture
setting and also display 0.0 EV in the lower right corner of the
viewfinder display. Changing the aperture or shutter speed will now
display the change from what you metered within a range of +/-3.0 EV.

How would one set the aperture when using the lens manually, like in
aperture priority, or when using full manual modes? Am I missing
something?
Huh? Full control of both body and lens will be possible, and you'll
be able to use all the DS' capabilities. Why would that be
unsatisfactory??
Hmmm .... that may make it unsatisfactory on the DS as well.
... however, it does not have an aperture
ring so it would be unsatisfactory on, say, the MX body since it
would only operate at f/22 or some such without body control of the
aperture mechanism.
