No it's cost cutting, they're necessary if you wish to use your new lenses
on
the MX, KX and numerous others. I won't buy a lens without an aperture
ring....Period!
I said much the same thing a couple of years ago. A year ago I said I
wouldn't buy a reduced image circle lens.
I recall calling the istD a crippled whore.
At least I didn't call it a cheap plastic toy.
Anyway, you might change your mind when you can no longer buy film.....
