Despite having owned two dual-wheel cameras (*istD and EOS 3) and two of the single-wheel + button cameras (F65 and D50) I still greatly prefer having an aperture ring and using it. It's one reason I prefer using MF glass on the D50 (And also the *istD when I had it) My favourite interface is actually the MZ-S or Nikon F801-style aperture ring + thumbwheel, with the shutter dial running a distant second. I loathe aperture ring + shutter ring setups. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
